1 Mark each
The pistil is the female reproductive part of a flower. It is made up of the stigma, the style and the ovary.
1. The stigma is a bulged sticky structure at the tip of the pistil. As it is sticky it receives pollen grains from the male reproductive structure.
2. The style is a long tube-like structure which allows pollen grain to travel from the stigma to the ovule which bears the egg cell.
3. Ovary is a large lobed structure at the base of the pistil. It contains ovules which bear the female reproductive cells.
