The stamens and pistils usually occur in thesame flower. These are essential whorls. A flower bearing both the essential whorls isbisexual. Sometimes a flower has only the stamens or only the pistils, in which case it is referred to as a unisexual flower (i.e. the flower bears only one of the essential organs).
The calyx and the corolla are referred to as the non-essential whorls , since they are not responsible for the formation of gametes and seeds. This formation can occur in theabsence of the outer whorls.
A flower in which all four whorls are present is said to be a complete flower. If any one of thenon-essential whorls is not present, the flower is incomplete
The Calyx.
The calyx is the outermost whorl of a flower. It consists of sepals, that are green. The sepals may be free from each other in the same flowers of some plants or fused to form a cup in flowers of other plants.
Functions
The calyx encloses and protects the inner whorls in the bud stage.
Since the sepals contain chlorophyll, they can also synthesize food.
The Corolla.
The corolla is found on the inside of the calyx and is the most conspicuous part in the flower because it is usually white/brightly coloured . This whorl is made up of petals which are much larger than sepals. The petals may beseparate from each other or become partly/ completely fused. If the petals are completely fused they form a corolla tube. The calyx and corolla together are called the perianth .
Functions
The brightly-coloured corolla attracts agents of pollination such as insects and birds.The corolla encloses and protects the stamens and pistil.
The Stamens.
The stamens form the third whorl on the inside of the corolla. Each stamen is made up of a slender flexible filament which supports the anther at its end. The anther is the male reproductive organ in a flower.
Functions
The anther produces pollen grains which contain the male reproductive cells;<The filament bears and supports the anther in the most suitable position for pollen transfer to take place.
The Pistils.
The pistil is the fourth and the innermost whorl of the flower. It consists of a basal, swollen portion, the ovary, from which a long and slender style arises. The stigma is found at the tip of the style. The pistil is the female reproductive organ.
Functions
The ovary is a hollow cavity which contains the ovules.Each ovule contains an egg cell.The elongated style bears the stigma in the most suitable position for receiving pollen during pollination.The sticky stigma at the tip of the style can receive or trap the pollen grains.

Essential And Non Essential
Explanation:
- Extra whorls are additionally called as vegetative whorls which incorporate sepals and petals. Basic whorls are additionally called as conceptive whorls which incorporate stamens and pistil.
- The calyx (sepals) and the corolla (petals) are sterile and are alluded to as the superfluous or adornment parts of the bloom since they don't straightforwardly take an interest during the time spent sexual multiplication.
- The corolla and calyx together are known as the perianth . The brilliantly hued corolla draws in operators of fertilization, for example, creepy crawlies and birds.The corolla encases and ensures the stamens and pistil. The pistil is the fourth and the deepest whorl of the bloom.
- Most blossoms have four principle parts: sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. The stamens are the male part while the carpels are the female piece of the blossom.
- Most blossoms are bisexual where they contain both male and female parts. Others may contain one of the two sections and might be male or female.
- An average (great) blossom is Complete. It has a male part and a female part: the Pistil (additionally called the Carpel). This is comprised of the Stigma, the Style and the Ovary. The ovary contains the ovule (or ovules) where preparation happens.
- Blossoms are significant in making seeds.it can be comprised of various parts, yet there are a few sections that are essential hardware.
- The female part called the pistil and the male part called the stamen.
- The stamen has two sections: anthers and fibers. The sepals and petals are alluded to as the trivial whorls.
- The stamens and pistils for the most part happen in a similar bloom. These are fundamental whorls.
