The stigma functions as a receptive surface on which pollen lands and germinates its pollen tube. Corn silk is part stigma, part style. The style serves to move the stigma some distance from the ovary. This distance is species specific.

Normally, the garden pea self-fertilizes but he could prevent self fertilization and cross (breed) two different plants by putting the pollen (sperm) of one on the stigma (female part leading to the ova) of another or he could let them self ...
pollination - the transfer of pollen from the male anther to the female stigma of a flower.
Transfer of pollen (pollination) from the anther of the flower of one plant to the stigma of the flower of a genetically different plant.
Transfer of pollen (pollination) from the anther of a flower to the stigma of the same flower or sometimes to that of a genetically identical flower (as of the same plant or clone).
If it goes to another flower of the same species, that pollen can land on the stigma. From that point, one haploid male nucleus combines with a female nucleus and the other haploid male nucleus combines with a polar nucleus.
