Step-by-step solution

Flower

The flower is the reproductive part of the plants. The flowers contain reproductive organs, including stamen and carpel. The non-reproductive parts are petals, sepals, and receptacles. The flowers are responsible for sexual reproduction and producing fruits.

General parts of a flower

The flowers have petals and sepals. The petals are colored and differently shaped parts of the flower, attracting pollinators such as insects and animals and assisting the flower in pollination. The sepals are the greenish, leaf-like structures that surround the flowers and enclose the developing bud.

Reproductive parts of a flower

A flower has male and female plants which have flowers with either male or female reproductive parts. The male reproductive part is the stamen which contains anther and filaments.

Pollen contains the male reproductive cells formed inside the anther while the pollen moves to the female organs through the filament. The female organ is the pistil which contains stigma, style, and ovary. The ovary contains ovules or eggs of the flowers.
