  • Stigma: The Key to Plant Pollination - Definition & Function
    The part of the plant that accepts the pollen and undergoes pollination is the stigma.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Stigma: The sticky, often feathery top part of the pistil (the female reproductive part of a flower).

    * Pollen: Tiny grains containing the male gametes (sperm) of a plant.

    * Pollination: The process of transferring pollen from the anther (male part of a flower) to the stigma.

    Once the pollen reaches the stigma, it germinates and grows a pollen tube down through the style (another part of the pistil) to the ovary, where fertilization can occur.
