Question
What is the complete flower?
Answer
A complete flower is a flower that has all four of the following parts:
- Sepals: The sepals are the outermost parts of a flower. They are usually green and leaf-like, and they protect the bud of the flower before it blooms.
- Petals: The petals are the brightly coloured parts of a flower. They attract pollinators, such as insects and birds, which help to transfer pollen from one flower to another.
- Stamens: The stamens are the male reproductive parts of a flower. They are composed of an anther, which produces pollen, and a filament, which supports the anther.
- Pistil: The pistil is the female reproductive part of a flower. It is composed of a stigma, which receives pollen, a style, which supports the stigma, and an ovary, which contains the ovules (eggs).
