Quick Answer

The Full Story
The human egg cell is the largest cell in the human body by volume, with a diameter of about 100 micrometres, or 0.1 millimetre. Unlike most cells, it can be seen with the naked eye as a tiny dot. The egg contains nutrients, organelles, and maternal RNA needed for early development after fertilization. Its large size reflects its role in supporting the embryo during the first stages of life.
