wind pollinated plants.
Carpel -The
female part of the plant which produce fruit once pollination has taken place.
The fruit contains seeds. (Carpels. stigma -> top where it gets pollen,
style -> pollen travels down, ovary -> where fruit is formed)
Pollination
- When pollen is passed from the stamen to the carpels either by.
insects -> insects go to feed on nectar of flower. Brush against stamens
