Gynoecium

The gynoecium is the female reproductive part of a flower, consisting of one or more carpels. It contains the ovules, which develop into seeds when fertilized. The gynoecium plays a crucial role in the process of plant reproduction.

Stigma

The stigma is the uppermost part of the female reproductive structure of a flower. It's often sticky or feathery, designed to catch pollen grains carried by insects or the wind. Its unique shape and texture help ensure successful pollination and the formation of seeds.

Style

The style is the slender tube that connects the stigma to the ovary in the flower. It acts like a bridge for pollen to travel from the stigma to the ovary. Along this tube, the pollen grain's journey begins, allowing fertilization. The style's length and shape play a role in ensuring successful pollination.

Ovary

The ovary is the lowermost part found in the flower's gynoecium. It's like a protective capsule that holds tiny structures called ovules. After successful pollination, the ovary transforms into a fruit, enclosing seeds that develop from the fertilized ovules.

Receptacle

The receptacle is the base of the flower, where its parts are attached. It supports the entire structure. Petals, sepals, stamens, and pistils are connected to the receptacle.

Peduncle

The peduncle is the flower's stem that supports and connects it to the main plant. It is crucial in providing stability and transporting water and nutrients to the flower. Its length and strength vary, affecting the flower's position and overall health.
