$\begingroup$ @John that's not a stem. What is the name of the plant part that stem gets into in the plant. This part of the fruit is not a stem. $\endgroup$– GreenMay 2, 2020 at 11:10

'Stalk' or 'pedicel' would be an appropriate term (see, for example, this paper or this one). Specifically, you could say 'terminal part of the stalk/pedicel', though I don't know if there is a word for that.
Note that the term pedicel is commonly used for the stalk of a flower; it makes sense to use it for fruits too as they are derived from flowers.
