Question

Name the male and female reproductive parts in plants.

Answer 1

1) The male reproductive part in a plant is called stamen.

• It consists of anther and filament.
• The anther is a lobed structure which produces pollen grains.
• The filament is a slender stalk-like structure.
  

2) The female reproductive part in a plant is called the pistil.

• It consists of three parts- stigma, style and ovary.
• The sticky part at the top called a stigma.
• A thin tube passing down is called a style.
• A swollen sac-like structure at the bottom is called an ovary.
• The pollen grains are transferred onto the stigma which then travels down the style into the ovary, where it meets with the ovules and fertilization takes place.
