Question

Why is flower important to a plant? Give its functions.

Answer 1

The principal purpose of a flower is the reproduction of the individual and the species. All flowering plants are heterosporous, producing two types of spores. Microspores are produced by meiosis inside anthers while megaspores are produced inside ovules, inside an ovary. In fact, anthers typically consist of four microsporangia and an ovule is an integumented megasporangium. Both types of spores develop into gametophytes inside sporangia. As with all heterosporous plants, the gametophytes also develop inside the spores (are endosporic).

Answer 2

Answer:Helps in pollination.

Explanation:flowers are important for plants to attract insects with its colours or by its smell.Many flowers

produce foul smells to attract insects such as beetles.In doing all this will help complete the first step in pollination i.e transfer of pollen from one flower to another with the help of biotic agents like insects.Many other animals are also known to help in this step and not just insects.when an insect comes near a flower,the flower provides floral rewards so that these insects come again.That is it helps both the parties(flowers get pollinated and the biotic agents get the floral rewards).The floral reward includes nectar,a safe place to lay eggs(as in case of moth pronuba and the yucca tree) etc.
