Male and Female Parts of a Flower

Flowers are the reproductive organs of flowering plants. They turn into fruits that contain seeds, allowing flowering plants to reproduce. The important parts of a flower include sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils. Sepals protect the bud, petals attract insects for pollination, stamens are the male part containing pollen, and pistils are the female part containing the ovary where seeds form.
