The correct answer is pistil.

Key Points

  • Pistil:-
    • The innermost part of a flower is called the pistil, which is the female reproductive organ of the flower.
    • The pistil is made up of three parts: the stigma, the style, and the ovary.
    • The stigma is the sticky tip of the pistil where pollen grains land and begin to grow.
    • The style is the slender tube that connects the stigma to the ovary.
    • The ovary contains the ovules, which are the eggs that, when fertilized by pollen, develop into seeds.

Additional Information

  • Stamens:-
    • These are the male reproductive organs of a flower and are located around the pistil.
    • They consist of the anther, which produces pollen, and the filament, which supports the anther.
  • Petals:-
    • These are the colorful, often fragrant, parts of a flower that attract pollinators.
  • Sepals:-
    • These are the outermost parts of a flower and protect the developing bud.
    • They are usually green and leaf-like in appearance.
