Question

With the help of diagrams, describe the structure of a pistil?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The pistil is the female part of the flower, which is divisible into stigma, style, and ovary.

It is adapted to receive the pollen, aid its germi­nation, and subsequently entry of the pollen tube into the ovary, ovule and finally into the embryo sac for fertilization.

Answer 2

Pistil, the female reproductive part of a flower. The pistil, centrally located, typically consists of a swollen base, the ovary, which contains the potential seeds, or ovules; a stalk, or style, arising from the ovary; and a pollen-receptive tip, the stigma, variously shaped and often sticky.
