A pistil is the female reproductive organ in a flower that is composed of one or more carpels. It typically includes a stigma, where pollen lands, a style, through which the pollen travels to reach the ovary, and an ovary, where the ovules (future seeds) are contained. Upon fertilization, the pistil develops into the fruit.
