A flower is the part of a plant that makes seeds. Most flowers have sepals, petals, stamens (the male part) and a pistil (the female part).

Parts and what they do

Part	What it does
1. Anther परागकोश	The top part of the stamen. It makes yellow pollen grains.
2. Petal पंखुड़ी	Bright, often sweet-smelling parts that attract insects and birds to the flower.
3. Filament तंतु	The thin stalk of the stamen that holds up the anther.
4. Sepal बाह्यदल	Small green leaf-like parts outside the petals. They protect the flower when it is a bud.
5. Receptacle पुष्पासन	The swollen top of the stalk. All the parts of the flower sit on it.
6. Stalk (pedicel) पुष्पवृंत (डंठल)	Holds the flower and joins it to the plant.
7. Stigma वर्तिकाग्र	The sticky top of the pistil. It catches pollen grains.
8. Style वर्तिका	The tube that joins the stigma to the ovary.
9. Ovary अंडाशय	The swollen base of the pistil. After fertilisation it becomes the fruit.
10. Ovule बीजांड	Tiny parts inside the ovary. After fertilisation each ovule becomes a seed.

Stamen and pistil

Stamen (पुंकेसर) = anther + filament. It is the male part and makes pollen.
Pistil (स्त्रीकेसर) = stigma + style + ovary. It is the female part and has the ovules.

From flower to fruit

Pollen lands on the stigma → pollen tube grows down the style → fertilisation in the ovule → ovule becomes seed → ovary becomes fruit

Moving pollen from the anther to the stigma is called pollination. Insects, birds, wind and water carry pollen.

Try it: cut a flower such as a hibiscus (gudhal) or a mustard flower in half and find each part with a magnifying glass.
