Solution

Carpel:

  1. The carpel is the flower's fourth whorl, located in the middle.
  2. It consists mainly of the female parts of a flower: the style, stigma, and ovary.
  3. The ovary of the carpel is where style develops.
  4. The stigma seems to be at the end of the style.
  5. When pollen from such an anther lands on the stigma, it adheres to the ground and forms a tube linking the stigma and the ovary.
  6. The female gamete is found in the ovary, which would be the swollen bottom part of the flower.
