The gynoecium is also called the pistil.
The gynoecium is the innermost whorl of a flower and represents the female reproductive part. It's crucial for seed production. Understanding its structure and alternative name is fundamental in botany. The ovary, which holds the ovules, forms the base of the pistil. The other floral whorls include the calyx (sepals), corolla (petals), and androecium (stamens).
