Study Notes
Pistil Structure
- The pistil is the female reproductive organ of a flower.
- It's composed of three main parts: the ovary, style, and stigma.
- The ovary is flask-shaped and contains the ovules. Ovules are the structures that develop into seeds after fertilization.
- The style is a slender stalk that connects the ovary to the stigma.
- The stigma is a sticky surface at the tip of the style. Its stickiness helps to trap pollen grains carried by pollinators.
