Answer» • It is a disc shaped structure which is embedded in the uterine wall of females. • It develops during gestation period. • It contains villi on the embryo's side of the tissue. On the mother's side are blood spaces, which surround the villi. This provides a large surface area for glucose and oxygen to pass from the mother to the embryo. • It is mainly for providing nutrition to the growing embryo.. • It is also helpful in excretion as the waste generated by the developing embryo can be removed by passing or transferring them into mother's blood through placenta.
