The length of the pistil and stamen can vary depending on the plant species. In some flowers, the pistil is longer than the stamen to ensure that it is exposed to pollinators first and increases the chances of successful pollination. This can be advantageous for the plant to enhance its reproductive success by receiving pollen before it is transferred to other flowers.
