    • Abstract:
      Flowers are not only beautiful but also have an important role in reproduction. The three main parts of a flower, the stamen, ovary, and pistil, each have a specific function in the process. Seeds are dispersed in various ways, such as through water, wind, explosions, and animals. Animals, including birds, can help in seed dispersal by carrying them in their fur or through digestion. Pollinators, such as bees, bats, flies, moths, and birds, are attracted to flowers by their bright colors and sweet smells. They transfer pollen from one flower to another, allowing for fertilization and seed growth. [Extracted from the article]
