Solution

Pedicel (A stalk of the flower):

  1. A solitary flower is supported on a pedicel, a stalk, or a stem.
  2. It is the link between the single flower and the inflorescence.
  3. It's most common in pedicellate flowers (e.g. Rose).
  4. Sessile flowers do not have pedicels (e.g. Sunflower). The flower blooms directly from the stem in this case.

Thus, the Stalk of the flower is called Pedicel.
