What is the pollen tube and style?

In biology, Pollen tube is define as tube like a structure made from intine of pollen grain, which is part of male gametophyte that carry male gametes and grow downward in style and goes upto ovary, penetrating the ovary of female gametophyte to release their gametes inside it for fertilization whereas style is elongated part of female gametophyte or pistil that made of soft tissues and provide the path for development and growth of pollen tube inside and it make connection between stigma and ovary

What is the difference between pollen tube and style?

Pollen tube verses style

List 3 difference/ how do you compare/ pollen tube versus style / distinguish/ differentiate between pollen tube and style/ pollen tube differ from style are the following ways:-

2) Pollen tube is hollow, long tube like structure developed from intine of pollen grain whereas style is elongated hollow or solid structure made of soft tissues

3) Pollen tube carry male gametes and grow inside style, reach to the ovary, penetrating it and release the male gametes inside whereas style make connection between stigma and ovary and provide safe path for growth of pollen tube inside

4) Pollen tube grow inside style of female gametophyte whereas style do not grow inside Pollen tube

5) growth of pollen tube is stimulated by sugary substances produced in stigma whereas style do not need to grow, it is already part of female gametophyte.
