A species whose eggs develop outside the parent’s body

Real World Example

Imagine you're baking cookies for a party, but your oven is broken, so you have to bake them in your friend's oven across the street. Just like baking cookies outside your home, oviparous animals lay eggs that develop outside the parent's body. In this analogy, your home is like the parent's body, the cookies are the developing eggs, and the friend's oven is the external environment where the eggs develop.
