Flower Anatomy and Functions
- The visible and colorful part of a flower, known as the petals, plays a crucial role in attracting insects and birds for pollination through their vibrant colors and fragrant scents.
- The sepals, located at the base of the flower, protect the bud or young flower before it opens, ensuring the flower's development is safeguarded against environmental factors.
- The stamen is the male reproductive part of a flower, consisting of the anther and filament; it produces pollen, which contains male gametes for fertilization.
- When sperm cells fertilize the egg cells, they develop into seeds, which are essential for the propagation of flowering plants, allowing for the next generation of plants to grow.
