Flower Parts Overview
- Flowers consist of distinct parts that play critical roles in reproduction and protection.
Pistil
- The female reproductive structure of a flower, composed of four key components.
Stamen
- The male reproductive part of the flower, made up of two essential components.
Petal
- Brightly colored and visually attractive parts of the flower, serving to attract pollinators.
Sepal
- Leaf-like structures that encase and protect the flower bud prior to blooming.
Receptacle
- The base of the flower from which the pistil and stamen emerge, providing support.
Stigma
- The sticky tip of the pistil where pollen deposits occur, initiating fertilization.
Style
- A slender stalk connecting the stigma to the ovary in the female part of the flower.
Ovary
- Located at the base of the flower, it contains ovules and develops into the fruit post-fertilization.
Ovule
- Found within the ovary, this structure matures into a seed following fertilization.
Anther
- Part of the stamen, often yellow, holding pollen grains; located at the tip of a stalk.
Filament
- A hair-like stalk that supports the anther and is integral to the male reproductive part of the flower.
