A flower is the reproductive structure found in many plants, particularly those in the group known as angiosperms. Flowers are often colorful and fragrant, attracting pollinators like bees, butterflies, and birds. They typically consist of several parts, including petals, sepals, stamens, and carpels, which work together to facilitate reproduction. The primary function of a flower is to produce seeds through the process of pollination. When a pollinator visits a flower, it transfers pollen from the male parts (stamens) to the female parts (carpels). This process leads to fertilization, allowing the plant to produce seeds that can grow into new plants.
