Question

Draw a labelled diagram of a flower and explain its parts.

Accepted Answer

A neat labelled diagram of a flower.

The flower is the reproductive part of the plant. It consists of four whorls, a peduncle, and a receptacle.

Peduncle: It is the stalk of the flower.

Receptacle: It is the part of the flower stalk where the parts of the flower are attached.

Sepals: The outermost whorl of the flower that encloses the developing bud. It is often green and leaf-like.

Petals: These are bright coloured structures present next to the sepals.

Stamen: It is the male reproductive part of the flower. It forms the third whorl, and it consists of the anther and the filament. The anther produces the pollen grains, which contain the male gametes. The filament is the stalk that supports the anther.

Carpel: It is the female reproductive part of the flower. It is the innermost whorl, and it consists of the stigma, style, and ovary. Stigma is the topmost part of the pistil that receives the pollen grains. Style is the stalk that connects the stigma and the ovary. The ovary is a swollen basal portion of the pistil. It consists of ovules that contain the female gamete.
