Solution

The reproductive system of flowers:

Petals:

  1. This brightly coloured section attracts bees, insects, and birds.
  2. The colour of the petals varies from plant to plant; some are bright, while others are pale.
  3. As a result, petals assist us in distinguishing one flower from another.

Pistil:

  1. This is the innermost and female reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of three parts: stigma, style, and ovary.
  2. This is referred to as the pistil.
  3. The ovary contains ovules.

Anther:

  1. Anthers produce male gametophytes that aid in pollination.
  2. The filament is a stalk-like structure that connects to the flower's base and supports the anther.
  3. The pollen-producing part of a flower, usually supported by a slender filament

Final answer: Petal, stamens and pistil are the parts of a flower. Stamen is made up of anther and filament and it represents the male part of the flower. The female part of the flower is called the pistil. The basal, swollen part of the pistil is called the ovary which contains the ovules.
