Why do most plants have more stamens
than pistils?

Answer:
It only takes one pistil for seeds to be fertilized, but it doesn't guarantee that the pollen will find it way to the pistil. ... So by producing more stamens (and therefore more pollen) it increases the chances that at least some pollen gets to the "right" place.....

There may be a single pistil, as in the lily, or several to many pistils, as in the buttercup. The lobes of the stigma are often characteristic of families or genera; for example, many bellflowers (Campanula) have a distinctive stigma with three curling lobes.
