    The document summarizes the main parts of flowers: 1. The pistil forms the female parts including the stigma, style and ovary. The stigma receives pollen, the style transports it, and the ovary holds ovules. 2. Stamens are the male parts, with filaments attaching anthers that produce pollen. 3. Petals attract pollinators, sepals protect the bud, and the receptacle attaches other parts to the flower's base. Fertilization occurs when pollen reaches ovules in the ovary.

    PARTS OF THE FLOWERS

    1. Pistil: This forms the female parts of a flower. A collection of pistils is called the
    gynoecium.
    Parts of the Pistil:

    Style -is a long slender stalk that holds the stigma. Once the pollen
    reaches the stigma, the style starts to become hollow and forms a tube
    called the pollen tube which takes the pollen to the ovaries to enable
    fertilization.

    Stigma– This is found at the tip of the style. It forms the head of the pistil.
    The stigma contains a sticky substance whose job is to catch pollen
    grains from different pollinators or those dispersed through the wind.
    They are responsible to begin the process of fertilization.

    Ovary – They form the base of the pistil. The ovary holds the ovules.

    2. Stamens: These are the male parts of a flower. Many stamens are collectively
    known as the androecium. They are structurally divided into two parts:
    a. Filament: the part that is long and slender and attached the anther to
    the flower.

    b. Anthers: It is the head of the stamen and is responsible for producing


    the pollen which is transferred to the pistil or female parts of the same
    or another flower to bring about fertilization.
    3. Petals: This layer lies just above the sepal layer. They are often bright in color
    as their main function is to attract pollinators such as insects, butterflies to the
    flower. The petals are collectively known as the corolla.
    4. Sepals: These are the small, leaf-like parts growing at the base of the petals.
    They form the outermost whorl of the flower. Collectively, sepals are known as
    the calyx. The main function of the calyx and its sepals is to protect the flower
    before it blossoms (in the bud stage).

    5. Receptacle: It is that part of the flower to which the stalk is attached to. It is
    small and found at the center of the base of the flower.
    6. Ovules: These are the egg cells of a flower. They are contained in the ovary. In
    the event of a favorable pollination where a compatible pollen reaches the
    stigma and eventually reaches the ovary to fuse with the ovules, this fertilized
    product forms the fruit and the ovules become the seeds of the fruit.
    7. Pollen tube: A hollow tube which develops from a pollen grain when
    deposited on the stigma of a flower. It penetrates the style and conveys the
    male gametes to the ovule.
    8. Pedicel: Is a stem that attaches a single flower to the inflorescence.
