Can you list and define the three parts of the pistil? ( part of a flower )?

The pistil itself is formed from the stigma, style, and ovary.





The stigma is usually the terminal portion that has no epidermis and is fitted to receive pollen (male gametophytes).





The style is a stalk connecting the stigma with the ovary below containing the transmitting tract, which facilitates the growth of the pollen tube and hence the movement of the male gamete to the ovule.





The ovary contains the female reproductive cell or ovule.
