what is the female structure of a flower?
Answer
The female structure of a flower is called the pistil. The pistil typically consists of three main parts:
- Stigma: The sticky surface at the top of the pistil that captures and holds pollen grains.
- 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.
- 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.
