It's important to know the difference betwwen oosphere and oospore. 
An oosphere is an immobile egg cells that forms in an oogenum, and is ready for fertilization. 
Since it is a zygote of oomycetes, its ploidy is haploid.
Unlike an oosphere, an oospore is an already fertilized female zygote that develops fromfertilized oospheres in soma fungi and algae
