Detailed explanation-2: -The ovary is part of a flower’s female reproductive structure called a carpel.

Detailed explanation-3: -The female elements are collectively called the pistil. The top of the pistil is called the stigma, which is a sticky surface receptive to pollen. The bottom of the pistil contains the ovary and the narrowed region in between is called the style.

Detailed explanation-4: -The carpel is the female part of a flower. It is made up of style, stigma, and ovary. The ovary contains ovules where the egg cells also called the female gametes are produced. The egg cells fuse with the male gamete to lead to the formation of the zygote.
