Parts & Functions
| Part | Function |
|---|---|
| Sepal | Protects the flower bud before it opens. |
| Petal | Often colourful; attracts pollinators (insects, birds). |
| Stamen (Male) | Produces pollen. Composed of anther (pollen producer) and filament (stalk). |
| Anther | Produces and releases pollen grains. |
| Filament | Supports the anther, holds it in position for pollinators. |
| Pistil / Carpel (Female) | Includes stigma, style and ovary — receives pollen and houses ovules. |
| Stigma | Sticky or feathery surface that captures pollen. |
| Style | Tube through which pollen tubes grow to reach ovary. |
| Ovary | Contains ovules; becomes the fruit after fertilisation. |
| Ovule | Develops into a seed after fertilisation. |
Note: A typical flower has four whorls — calyx (sepals), corolla (petals), androecium (stamens) and gynoecium (pistils). Pollination (transfer of pollen) may be by wind, insects, birds or other animals.
Detailed description (English)
Flowers are the reproductive structures of angiosperms. The petals and sepals form protective and attractive layers; the stamens produce pollen (male gametes), and the pistils contain ovules (female gametes). After pollination and fertilisation, ovules develop into seeds and the ovary usually develops into a fruit that protects the seeds and aids dispersal.
