The female structure of a flower is called the pistil. The pistil typically consists of three main parts:

  1. Stigma: The sticky surface at the top of the pistil that captures and holds pollen grains.
  2. Style: The tube-like structure that connects the stigma to the ovary. It serves as a pathway for pollen tubes to travel to the ovary.
  3. Ovary: The swollen base of the pistil that contains one or more ovules. After fertilization, the ovary develops into a fruit, and the ovules become seeds.
