The stigma catches pollen and the pollen grain germinate on the stigma. The stigma is sticky to catch and trap pollen with various hairs or flaps.
Pollination is the union of the pollen and the stigma.
Pollen is collected in the stigma.
some pollen grains reach to stigma by wind and some are carried by animals like rabbits and insects like butterfly, bee etc.
stigma
The transfer of pollen to the stigma of a flower is called pollination. The transfer of pollen is called pollenation.
The stigma on a flower is responsible for receiving pollen during fertilization. It is the receptive surface where pollen grains adhere and germinate to produce a pollen tube that delivers sperm to the ovules. This process is essential for sexual reproduction in plants.
A pollen grain can reach the stigma through wind, a process known as anemochory, where lightweight pollen is carried by air currents to the female reproductive part of a flower. Additionally, insects such as bees and butterflies can facilitate pollination by transferring pollen from one flower to another as they forage for nectar, effectively depositing it onto the stigma.

Pollination
Pollen is male part of the flower and stigma is the uppermost part of the gynoecium (which is female part). Thus stigma does not produce pollen, rather pollen land on stigma after pollination to fertilize the egg inside the ovary of the flower.
The stigma catches pollen and the pollen grain germinate on the stigma. The stigma is sticky to catch and trap pollen with various hairs or flaps.
