  • Understanding Pollination: The Role of the Flower's Stigma
    The part of a flower that receives pollen during pollination is the stigma.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Stigma: The sticky, often bulbous top part of the pistil (the female reproductive organ of a flower). The stigma is specifically designed to capture pollen grains.

    * Style: The stalk that connects the stigma to the ovary.

    * Ovary: The base of the pistil that contains the ovules (which develop into seeds after fertilization).

    When a pollen grain lands on the stigma, it starts the process of fertilization.
