Answer 2

Carpel is the female part of the flower.

Step-by-step explanation:

The carpel is the female part of the flower and also known as gynaeceum. It has 3 parts - ovary, style, and stigma. The ovary is the base of the carpals. It consists of locules or chambers within which ovules are present. The ovary may be a single chamber or multi chambers or locules. The double-chambered ovary is called bilocular and more than 2 chambers are known as polylocular. The second part is the style of the carpals. The style connects the ovary with stigma. The 3rd and apex part of the carpel is a stigma. It receives pollen during pollination.
