Parts & Functions

PartFunction
SepalProtects the flower bud before it opens.
PetalOften colourful; attracts pollinators (insects, birds).
Stamen (Male)Produces pollen. Composed of anther (pollen producer) and filament (stalk).
AntherProduces and releases pollen grains.
FilamentSupports the anther, holds it in position for pollinators.
Pistil / Carpel (Female)Includes stigma, style and ovary — receives pollen and houses ovules.
StigmaSticky or feathery surface that captures pollen.
StyleTube through which pollen tubes grow to reach ovary.
OvaryContains ovules; becomes the fruit after fertilisation.
OvuleDevelops 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.
