A style is the usually slender supportive
stalk of a
pistil, situated between the
ovary and the
stigma
The style becomes the
pathway for pollen tubes
(that grow from pollen grains) adhering
to the stigma, to the ovules,
carrying the reproductive material. A single
style may bear more than one stigma, In Cactaceae the style old up
multiple stigmas typically 3-20.
