Flowers are the reproductive structures of flowering plants, known scientifically as angiosperms. They come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, serving to attract pollinators like bees, butterflies, and birds. Each flower typically consists of petals, sepals, stamens, and a pistil, which together facilitate reproduction. Flowers play a crucial role in the ecosystem by producing seeds and fruits, which help in the propagation of plants. They also provide food and habitat for many organisms. Additionally, flowers have cultural significance in many societies, often symbolizing love, beauty, and celebration in events like weddings and festivals.
