Answer» Explanation: Solution:  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. Stamen: This is the MALE reproductive organ and is also known as Androecium. It consists of two parts namely: anther and filaments. The anther is a yellowish, sac-like structure, involved in producing and storing the pollens.The FILAMENT is a slender, THREADLIKE OBJECT, which functions by supporting the anther. Pistil: This is the innermost part and the female reproductive organ of a flower which comprises three parts -stigma, style and ovary. This is collectively known as the pistil. Stigma: It is the topmost part or receptive tip of carpels in the gynoecium of a flower. Style: It is the long tube-like slender stalk that connects stigma and the ovary. Ovary: It is the ductless reproductive gland that holds a lot of ovules. It is the part of the plant where the seed formation takes place. |
