The three main parts of the female structure of a flower, known as the pistil, are:

  1. Stigma: The sticky, receptive surface at the top of the pistil that captures and holds pollen grains.
  2. Style: The slender, tube-like structure that connects the stigma to the ovary. It provides a passage for pollen tubes to travel from the stigma to the ovary.
  3. Ovary: The enlarged, basal portion of the pistil that contains one or more ovules. After fertilization, the ovary develops into a fruit, and the ovules become seeds.
