• Vegetative Part of a flower
The vegetative part of a flower consisting of the following:
• Petals: This is a bright coloured part that attracts bees, insects, and birds. Colour of petals varies from plant to plant; some are bright while some are pale coloured. Thus, petals help us to differentiate one flower from another.
• Sepals: Sepal is the green-coloured part beneath the petals to protect rising buds. Some flowers have fused petals-sepals while a few have separated petals-sepals.
Reproductive part of a flower
The Reproductive Part of a flower consisting of the following:
• Stamen: This is the male reproductive organs and is also known as Androecium. It consists of two parts namely anther and filament.
1. The anther is a yellowish, sac- like structure, involved in producing and storing the pollen.
2. The filament is a slender, threadlike object, which function by supporting the anther.
• Pistil: This is the innermost part and the female reproductive organs of a flower which comprises three parts- stigma, style and ovary.
1. Stigma: It is the topmost part or receptive tip of carpels in the gynoecium of a flower.
2. Style: It is the long tube like slender stalk that connects stigma and the ovary.
3. Ovary: It is the ductless Reproduction gland that holds a lot of ovules. It is the part of the plant where the seed formation takes place.
