Why in the N.C.E.R.T. book Hibiscus is guven as an example of Reproduction ? |
| Answer» Reproduction by SeedsIn the wild, Hibiscus species reproduce sexually when pollen from male flowers reaches female flowers for fertilization. Wind and wildlife transfer pollen, and large, colorful flowers are adapted to attract pollinators. Birds, butterflies and bees are common visitors to hibiscus plants, but they must visit quickly after blooms open since some species\' flowers last for only a day. Successful pollination results in producing seeds, which are encased in pods. Seeds of many species, such as swamp hibiscus and rose mallow, resemble those of okra, a mallow family relative. When pods mature, they dry and crack open to release seeds, which fall to the ground and germinate to make more plants.Stamen: is a male part of the flower it has a long filament with a elongated sac like structure its tip called the enter the enter hold the Pollen sacs inside which pollen grains are foundpistil: is the female part of the flower it has a tube like structure called the style. the style is oval-shaped at the base this is the ovary the tip of the style is sticky it is called the stigma it help to attach the pollen grains during pollination | |
