Petals: This is a bright-coloured part that attracts bees, insects, and birds. Colour of petals varies from plant to plant; some are bright while some are pale coloured. Thus, petals help us to differentiate one flower from another.
Sepals: Sepal is the green-coloured part beneath the petals to protect rising buds. Some flowers have fused petals-sepals while a few have separated petals-sepals.
Stamen: This is the male reproductive organ and is also known as Androecium. It consists of two parts namely: anther and filaments.
The calyx is the outermost whorl of a flower. It comprises sepals, tiny leaves present at the base of a flower. These protect the flower whorls against mechanical injuries and desiccation. Some plants have coloured sepals the calyx and are called petaloid.
Stamen is also known as the third whorl of the flower and is the male reproductive part. It consists of a filament which is a thread-like structure with a circular structure anther on the top. Pollen is produced by the anther which contributes to the male reproductive process of the plant. All the stamens do not bear fertile anthers.
This is the second whorl of a flower. It contains petals which serve two main functions:
To attract pollinators.
To protect the reproductive parts of a flower
Carpels The carpel is the fourth whorl of the flower present in the centre. The carpels contain the pistil, the female reproductive part of the flower. It comprises the ovary, style, and stigma. The egg or the ovule is present in the ovary.
