Which is the female part of the flower?
Correct Answer:
Pistil
Explanation:
In flowering plants, the female reproductive structure is the pistil. The pistil sits at the center of the flower and is made up of the stigma, style, and ovary. The stigma is the sticky tip that catches pollen, then pollen travels down the style to the ovary where fertilization of the ovules can occur. After fertilization, the ovary often develops into fruit containing seeds. Petals attract pollinators but aren’t the reproductive part, and sepals protect the bud. The stigma is part of the pistil, but the entire female structure is the pistil, which is why it’s the correct answer.
