An ostiole is: a small hole. Or opening through which algae or fungi release their mature spores.
The word is a diminutive of "ostium", "opening".
The term is also used in higher plants, for example——to denote the opening of the involuted syconium (fig inflorescence) through which fig wasps enter——to pollinate and breed. The species pharamacosycea have an arrangement interlocking pattern. But there is an exception. Because of insipdia because it is partly cover the "ostiole." On the adaxial side of the bracts is made out of cubic cells, "that has a staining reactions." And contain phenolic compounds.
Sometimes a stomatal aperture is called an "ostiole".
