HORTICULTURE

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: -In most angiosperms, from pollen landing on the stigma to fertilization inside the ovary, the pollen tube has to traverse an intermediate territory, the style (Figure 1). The pollen tube grows through a stylar canal or a stylar transmitting tissue, and reaches the locule cavity of the ovary where the ovule is located.

Detailed explanation-3: -The swollen structure of the female reproductive part of the flower which receives pollen grains is called stigma.
