Question

Some flowering plants have a long pistil that reaches way above the lower petals. What’s the purpose of this structure?

Answer 1

SO they can have better access to sunlight and it helps the process of photosynthesis

Answer 2

To receive pollen grains

Step-by-step explanation:

A flower is a modified shoot which is meant for reproduction. The stamen is the male reproductive organ and the pistil is a flower's female organ. A pistil is located in the centre of the flower and is surrounded by petals, sepals and stamens.

Some flowers have a long pistil that reaches above the petals to receive wind disseminated pollen grains. This helps transfer pollen and fertilize the ova in the ovaries.
