Solution

Reproductive organs in a plant:

  1. A flowering plant's sexual organs consist of the stamen (male sex structure called androecium) which consists of a filament and a pollen-bearing anther at the tip.
  2. The pistil (female sex structure called gynoecium), consists of ovary and ovule, style, and stigma at the tip(the pistil is also sometimes called the carpel).

Bisexual flower:

A flower is called bisexual or hermaphrodite if it possesses both male parts (stamens—androecium) and female parts (carpels—gynoecium).

Final answer: A flower having both the reproductive organs is called a bisexual flower.
