Flower Structures
The male part of the flower is called the stamen and is composed of:
Anther – pollen producing organ of the flower (pollen is the male gamete of a flowering plant)
Filament – slender stalk supporting the anther (makes the anther accessible to pollinators)
The female part of the flower is called the pistil (orcarpel) and is composed of:
Stigma – the sticky, receptive tip of the pistil that is responsible for catching the pollen
Style – the tube-shaped connection between the stigma and ovule (it elevates the stigma to help catch pollen)
Ovule – the structure that contains the female reproductive cells (after fertilisation, it will develop into a seed)
In addition to these reproductive structures, flowers possess a number of other support structures:
Petals – brightly coloured modified leaves, which function to attract pollinators
Sepal – Outer covering which protects the flower when in bud
Peduncle – Stalk of the flower
