Gynoecium, also called Pistil, forms the innermost whorl of the flower. It's the Female Reproductive part of the flower. It is composed of Carpel which has 3 parts; Stigma, Style and Ovary.
Stigma :- Stigma is the terminal part of a Carpel, which may be knob like or flattened, sticky or feathery, adapted to receive Pollen Grains.
Style :- Style is the slender stalk which supports the stigma and connects it to the Ovary.
Ovary :- Ovary is the swollen basal part which contains Ovules within which Female Gametes develops.
