What is the function of pistil?

Pistil is located in the center of the flower, which is the female reproductive organ of the flower, responsible for spreading pollen and fusing with stamens of other flowers to breed new plants.

The carpels forming pistils evolved from leaves, and the two edges of carpels merged with other carpels to form single pistils, free pistils or compound pistils, and the corresponding ovaries were called single locules or compound ovaries.

Different plants have different carpels. Carpels composed of/kloc-0 carpels are called single carpels, such as broad beans and soybeans. A pistil consisting of more than two carpels is called a compound pistil, and a part of it is separated from each carpel, so the pistil is also separated, which is called a free pistil, such as peony and magnolia;

Carpels in a compound pistil combine with each other to form 1 pistil, which is called syncarp, such as cotton and tomato. Most angiosperms are of this type. Gynoecium can be a combination of stigma, style and ovary, or only the ovary is separated from the other two parts, or the style and ovary are combined and only the stigma is separated.
