What Does The Stigma Do On A Flower?

Answer Question

4 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The stigma is one part of the carpel, which is the female reproductive part of a flower. The stigma is generally the end portion of the flower which does not have an epidermis and is fitted in order to receive pollen (male gametes) which is its primary function. It is usually somewhat glutinous or viscid.

    It is the sticky bulb which is commonly seen in the centre portion of flowers where the pollen lands and thus the fertilisation process begin. The other parts of the carpel are the style and the ovary.

    The style is the stalk that connects the stigma with the ovary and it contains the transmitting tract that facilitates the male gamete's movement to the ovule. The ovary (which is also known as a megasporophyll) contains the female reproductive cell, called the ovule.
