What are Flowers ?


Flower is the reproductive structure of the seed-bearing plants known as angiosperms. A flower may contain up to four whorls or arrangements of parts: carpels, stamens, petals, and sepals. 


Sepals are the leafy structures that encompass the flower bud.

Petals have highlighting colors to attract insects for pollination.

The androecium is a male reproductive structure which consists of stamens. It is comprises of filament and anther which holds the pollen grains.

Gynoecium is female reproductive structures which consist of carpels.  It consists of three structures such as Style, Ovary, and Stigma.

Pollen lands on stigma and reaches the ovary through the way of style. The ovary consists of ovules which produces the seed.
