The pistil is the collective term for the female reproductive structures in the flower-The Stigma, Style, Ovary and Ovule.
Although the filament may be thought of as just a simple stalk, it actually has a very important function. The filament is responsible for getting the pollen-bearing anther as close to the top of the pistil as possible because this is the location where pollen will be transferred to the female reproductive organ.
