    The document outlines the structure of a flowering plant, describing its two main parts as the male androecium (stamen) and female gynoecium (carpel/pistil). The stamen contains an anther that produces pollen and a filament connecting the anther to the petals. The carpel consists of a stigma that receives pollen, a style supporting the stigma, and an ovary containing ovules with egg cells. Supporting structures include the peduncle, receptacle, sepals forming the calyx, and petals forming the corolla to attract pollinators.

    Structure of a

    Flowering Plant
    Two Parts
    Male Part: Androecium (Stamen)
    Female Part: Gynoecium (Carpel/Pistil)
    Male Part (Stamen)
    Anther
    Contains the pollen
    Filament
    Connects anther to corolla (petals)

    Female Part (Carpel)
    Stigma
    Receives pollen grains during pollination
    Style
    Supports stigma
    Ovary
    Contains the ovule
    Ovule
    Contains embryo sac and female gamete


    Support
    Peduncle
    Flower stalk
    Receptacle
    Part of the stalk bears the floral organs, located
    at base of flower; bot large or noticeable
    Sepal
    Lowermost leaf-like structures, protect
    developing flower.
    The sepals together constitute the calyx.


    Attraction
    Petal
    Usually located above sepals, collectively
    constitute the corolla.
    Attracts insects and mammal
