Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The pistil has three parts: stigma, style, and ovary. The stigma is the sticky surface at the top of the pistil; it traps and holds the pollen.

Detailed explanation-2: -The style is the tube-like structure that supports the stigma. The style leads down to the ovary which contains the ovules. During the process of pollination, pollen moves from the male parts to the female parts. Pollen grains land on the stigma and a tiny tube grows from it and down the style into the ovary.

Detailed explanation-3: -The middle part of the pistil is called style. It is a tube which connects the stigma to ovary. It allows pollen grains to go down to the ovary.
