PARTS OF THE FLOWER

Parts of a Flower and Their Functions 🌸
A flower is the reproductive part of a plant. Each part has a specific role in helping the plant grow and reproduce.
Main Parts of a Flower
1. Petals 🌺
Brightly colored to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.
Protect the inner parts of the flower.
2. Sepals 🍃
Green leaf-like structures at the base of the flower.
Protect the flower bud before it blooms.
3. Stamen (Male Part) ♂️
The reproductive organ that produces pollen.
Parts of the Stamen:
Anther - Produces pollen grains (male reproductive cells).
Filament - A stalk that holds up the anther.
4. Pistil (Female Part) ♀️
The reproductive organ where seeds are formed.
Parts of the Pistil:
Stigma - The sticky top part where pollen lands.
Style - A tube that connects the stigma to the ovary.
Ovary - Contains ovules (eggs) that develop into seeds after fertilization.
5. Receptacle
The base of the flower that holds all the parts together.
Fun Flower Activity for Kids 🌿
🔹 Flower Dissection: Take a real flower and carefully separate its parts to observe them closely.
🔹 Labeling Game: Draw or print a diagram of a flower and label its parts.
🔹 Pollination Role-Play: Pretend to be a bee and transfer "pollen" (colored powder) from one "flower" to another.
Why Are Flowers Important? 🌏
Flowers are essential for plant reproduction. They help in pollination, which leads to the formation of fruits and seeds, ensuring plants continue to grow!
