Amniotic Egg

An egg with a shell and membrane to protect the embryo, like an egg laid by birds, reptiles, and mammals

Real World Example

Imagine trying to transport a delicate piece of pottery without it breaking. Just like the packaging materials and cushioning protect the pottery from damage, the amniotic egg's shell and membranes safeguard the embryo inside. The protective shell of the egg acts like the sturdy box for the pottery, while the membranes inside provide cushioning, ensuring the embryo develops safely, much like how padding keeps the pottery intact during transit.
