The Pistil or Carpel is the female part of the flower consisting of the Stigma, Style and Ovary. The Stigma rests on top of the Stlye. It is stiky to hold onto Pollen. Here Pollen lands and begings to migrate to the Ovary. The Style sports the Stigma and serves as a chanel for the pollon tube to the Ovary. The Ovary contains the Ovules, the female gametes. Here the fertilization occures.
Petal are brightly colored to attract pollenators. Sepals are leaf structures and that surve as protection for the deloping flower. The Receptacle is the contection point of the flower to the Peduncle. Peduncle is an other way of saying plant stem.
Most plant are not self fertilizing, thus they need an external sourde to move the Pollen to the Stigma. These are insects, wind, and animals.
