Flower:

1. The reproductive part of the plant is known as a flower.
2. It is vibrantly colored and filled with a distinct odor to attract insects to achieve pollination.
3. The production of fruit and seeds is the primary function of flowers.
4. A flower has four parts: calyx, corolla, androecium, and gynoecium.
5. Calyx: It consists of green leaf-like structures known as sepals
6. Corolla: It consists of brightly colored petals that attract insects, and birds that aid the dispersal of pollen, fruits, and seeds.
7. Androecium: Androecium is the male reproductive part of the flower.
8. Gynoecium: Gynoecium constitutes the innermost whorl and forms the female reproductive part of the flower.
9. Receptacle: The part of a flower stalk where the parts of the flower are attached.
