Floral biology is the study of flowers and their structures, functions, and roles in plant reproduction. Flowers are essential for the life cycle of flowering plants, known as angiosperms. They attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, which help in the transfer of pollen, leading to fertilization and the production of seeds. In addition to reproduction, flowers also play a significant role in ecosystems by providing food and habitat for various organisms. Understanding floral biology helps scientists and gardeners alike appreciate the beauty and importance of flowers, as well as their contributions to biodiversity and the environment.
