Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Flower is the reproductive part of a plant. A flower may be unisexual with either the male or the female reproductive parts. A bisexual flower has both the male and the female reproductive parts. The male gametes are found inside the pollen grains and female gametes are found in the ovule.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stamens and carpels are the male and female reproductive parts of a flower, respectively. Stamens collectively form a whorl known as androecium. Each stamen consists of two parts; the filament and the anther.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pistils: Female Reproductive Organs The pistil includes an ovary (where the ovules are produced; ovules are the female reproductive cells, the eggs), and a stigma (which receives the pollen during fertilization).

Detailed explanation-4: -The male parts are called stamens and usually surround the pistil. The stamen is made up of two parts: the anther and filament. The anther produces pollen (male reproductive cells).
