In normal scenario, male and female part of a plant present on a same plant but in case of papaya, male and female reproductive organs (flowers) are present on two different plants which is why papaya plant has to exhibit xenogamy.
Xenogamy is defined as, fertilization of a flower with pollen grains from a genetically different plant (flower).
