Pistil is the female part of the flower located in the center of the flower and made up of three parts: stigma ,style and ovary. Stigma is the sticky knob at the top of the pistil. It is attached to the long tubelike structure called style and style leads to an ovary that contains the female eggs cells called ovules.
The male parts of the flower are called stamens, it is made up of two parts:- Anther and filament. The anther produces pollen or male reproductive cells and filament holds the anther up.
During the process of fertilization pollen reaches stigma ,a tube grows down the style and enters the ovary. Male reproductive cells reach down the tube and join to the ovule. After fertilization ovules become the seed and ovaries become the fruit.

Thus the name of the pistil is ovary where the development of fruits and seeds take place respectively.

Note: petals and sepals are also important parts of a flower, as they help to attract pollinators such as bees ,butterflies and bats. Sepals are tiny green leaf-like parts at the base of a flower, providing protection to the developing bud.
