All the aerial parts of the nettle plant have stinging elements.

The word “urtica”, part of the plants scientific name, is derives from the Latin verb “urere” which means “to burn” due to the burns that appear at the touch of the stalk or leaves and the term, dioica ‘ ‘ means, ‘ two houses ‘ ‘ and it is because the nettle has unisexual-dioice flowers.
