Flowers are the reproductive structures which help the plant to undergo the process of sexual reproduction. These are the most attractive parts of the plant.    Structure of a flower A complete flower is made up of four whorls on it. These are sepals, petals, stamens and the pistil. *Flowers have petals, the coloured structures which attract insects and birds for pollination. *Flowers also have fragrance inorder to attract insects which help in pollination.   Pollination Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the stamen to the stigma. Different factors which help in the transfer of pollen are called as agents of pollination. Agents of pollination include air, water, birds, insects, animals etc. Pollination can be of two types namely, self-pollination and cross-pollination.
