carpel
Flower's seed chamber
A carpel is the female reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of the ovary, style, and stigma.
A simple flower may have a single carpel, while others have multiple carpels that may be fused or separate.
The carpels collectively form the pistil, which receives pollen and develops into fruit containing seeds.
