A flower that has both male and female reproductive parts is called a perfect flower. The male parts are stamens, which produce pollen, and the female part is the pistil, which includes the stigma, style, and ovary. Because it contains both sexes, a perfect flower can potentially fertilize itself or be fertilized by pollen from other flowers, depending on the species and pollination conditions. This differs from imperfect flowers, which have only one sex of reproductive parts. The other terms refer to unrelated plant features: a radicle is the embryonic root, and an internode is the stem segment between two nodes. So the term that fits a flower with both male and female parts is perfect flower.
