Solution

In flower, stigma is the landing zone and entrance. It plays a significant role in reproduction. Most stigmas are trap pollen with hairs and other surfaces. Most stigmas are covered with sticky substances to trap pollen grains efficiently. The stigma consists of male germ cell which enables reproduction in flowers. The main function of stigma is that the male germ cell transferred to the carpal (the female reproductive part) for fertilization.
