Which part of the flower traps and collects pollen?
A
stigma
B
stamen
C
sepal
D
petal
Explanation: 

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: -The stigma is the sticky surface at the top of the pistil; it traps and holds the pollen. The style is the tube-like structure that holds up the stigma. The style leads down to the ovary that contains the ovules. Other parts of the flower that are important are the petals and sepals.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The male part of flowering plants is the stamen. This consists of an anther supported by a single stalk, the filament. The anther usually contains four pollen sacs which are responsible for producing pollen grains.

Detailed explanation-5: -Anthers are the male reproductive part of a flower. Stigma is the female reproductive part of a flower. The anthers are bilobed with sac-like structures (microsporangia) present inside them. The stigma is a receptive base on which the pollen lands.
