Four whorls of the flower are:
1. Calyx - consists of sepals and protects the flower from insects at their bud stage.
2. Corolla - Consists of petals and is the coloured part of the flower which attracts the insects for pollination.
3. Androecium - It consists of stamens and represents the male reproductive part of the flower. It consists of anther and stigma.
4. Gynoecium - It consists of carpel and represents the female reproductive part of the flower. Stigma, style and ovary are the three parts of carpel.
