Detailed explanation-1: -pistil, the female reproductive part of a flower. The pistil, centrally located, typically consists of a swollen base, the ovary, which contains the potential seeds, or ovules; a stalk, or style, arising from the ovary; and a pollen-receptive tip, the stigma, variously shaped and often sticky.

Detailed explanation-2: -1) It is the female reproductive part of the flower, and therefore it is involved in the fertilization process. 2) The stigma of the pistil is responsible for receiving the pollen. 3) The style of the pistil is responsible for safely transporting the compatible pollen to the ovule.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pistil is the innermost, seed-bearing, female part of a flower. It is located generally to the centre and consists of a swollen base called the ovary. The pistil can also be referred to as a collection of carpels, which are fused together.

Detailed explanation-4: -∙ Pistil is the ovule producing, female reproductive part of a flower. ∙ It is the innermost part of a flower located at the center. ∙ The pistil consists of three parts: (i) Stigma-the flat, sticky upper portion. (ii) Style-the stalk that extends below the stigma.
