The innermost part of a flower is called the:

pistil

The correct answer is Option (3)- pistil

The innermost part of a flower is called the pistil.

☀ Stamen: The stamen is a male reproductive organ in a flower, consisting of an anther (where pollen is produced) and a filament. It is not the innermost part of the flower.

☀ Petal: Petals are the colorful, often modified leaves that surround the reproductive parts of a flower. While important for attracting pollinators, they are not the innermost part.

☀ Pistil: The pistil, also known as the carpel, is the female reproductive organ in a flower. It consists of three main parts: the stigma (which receives pollen), the style (a slender tube connecting the stigma to the ovary), and the ovary (which contains ovules). The ovary is the innermost part of the pistil and is where the seeds develop after fertilization.

☀ Sepal: Sepals are the outermost part of a flower, typically green and protective in nature. They enclose and protect the developing flower bud before it opens. Sepals are not part of the reproductive organs and are located on the outside of the flower.
