The stigma of a flower receives pollen, the male flowers gamete. It is part of the female flowers reproductive system. The Stigma is the end portion of the flower and does not have an epidermis( the waxy coating on plants that helps retain water and protects the plant).

The stigma of a flower is the organ equivalent to an ovary. Anthers are the male reproductive organ. When pollen from the anthers lands on the tip of the stigma the pollen will create a channel called the pollen tube that leads down into the base of the stigma which is the portion of the stigma that is truly the ovary. At the base of the stigma there is a sack like portion that contains the eggs. Fertilization continues on from here.

The stigma sits at the tip of the carpel in the gynoecium of a flower, which is the female reproductive portion. The stigma serves to receive pollen (typically from the air or from insects) and foster its germination.
