The part of the plant responsible for reproduction is the flower. Flowers contain the reproductive structures of flowering plants (angiosperms). They typically consist of male parts, called stamens, which produce pollen, and female parts, called carpels or pistils, which contain the ovary. During pollination, pollen is transferred from the stamens to the carpels, leading to fertilization and the development of seeds. Flowers also play a crucial role in attracting pollinators, like bees and butterflies, which are essential for the fertilization process and the production of fruit, thereby contributing to plant reproduction and biodiversity.
