What are the parts of the flower the female parts and the male parts?

Parts of the Flower


As the reproductive part of the plant the flower contains the male pollen and/or the female ovule plus accessory parts such as petals, sepals, and nectar glands.


The pistil is the female part of the plant. It is generally shaped like a bowling pin and located in the center of the flower. It consists of the stigma, style, and ovary. The stigma is located at the top, and is connected to the ovary by the style. The ovary contains the eggs which reside in the ovules. After the egg is fertilized the ovule develops into a seed.





The stamen is the male reproductive organ. It consists of a pollen sac (anther) and a long supporting filament. This filament holds the anther in position so the pollen it contains may be disbursed by wind or carried to the stigma by insects, birds or bats.

Reply:The stamen is the male part of the flower. At the tips are the anthers, which hold the pollen grains.The stalk is called the filament.





The pistil is the main part of the flower. The tip is the stigma, the stalk is the style, and the base is the ovary.





Inside the ovary are female cells called ovules.





Petals surround and protect the flower parts.





The sepals form a calyx around the base of the flower.
