What is a flower?
|
 | | A selection of flowers showing their varied sizes, shapes, and colours. |
A flower is the reproductive part of a plant. The male part of the flower produces pollen and this fertilises the eggs in the female part of a flower, which is usually on a different plant. Usually the pollen is transferred from flower to flower by insects, which are attracted to the flowers' nectar. This is known as pollination. After fertilisation, the flower produces seeds.
