Then a new seed forms in the flower’s ovary.

18. The MALE part that produces pollen.
stamen
The MALE part that produces pollen.
pistil
The FEMALE part that gets fertilized by pollen, and makes new seeds in the ovary.

19. Tube that pollen travels down
The pistil has 3 parts
(Don’t need to write this.)

(female part)
Is sticky
Catches pollen
style
