Question

Explain the parts of the androecium and gynoecium.

Answer 1

The androecium contains one or more tube-like stamens. Each stamen consists of a thin stalk known as the filament and a ​
two-lobed head known as the anther. The anther contains pollen grains that produce the male gametes.



The gynoecium is the female reproductive organ. It consists of the stigma, the style and the ovary. During pollination, pollen grains are deposited on the stigma. The style is a long tube that leads down to the ovary, which contains ovules.
