Solution

Pistil or stamen:
Stamen is the male reproductive organ and is also known as Androecium.
It consists of two parts namely: anther and filaments.
The pistil is the female structure of a flower, which mainly consists of stigma, style, ovary and ovule.
Flowers that have either pistils or stamens are considered unisexual.
They are also known as incomplete flowers.
They can only reproduce through cross-pollination.
Cross-pollination is the process of transmitting pollen from one plant to the pistils of another plant.
Pollination occurs naturally through the use of pests and wind.
Cucumber, guava, and corn are just a few examples.
