The gynoecium represents the female reproductive part of the flower and consists of pistil. Each pistil has three parts,

i.e., stigma, style and ovary. Inside the ovarian cavity, the placenta is located.
Arising from the placenta, there are the megasporangia, commonly called ovules. The functional megaspore undergoing the meiotic division develops into the female gametophyte or embryo sac.
