State whether the following statement is true or false: $A$ thick and spongy lining of the uterus is required for nourishing the embryo if fertilization has taken place.

(TRUE) The statement is True.
After fertilization,the zygote develops into an embryo and implants itself into the uterine wall.
The uterus prepares itself every month to receive and nurture a growing embryo by thickening its lining and becoming rich in blood vessels.
This spongy,vascularized lining provides the necessary nutrients and oxygen to the developing embryo through the placenta.
