Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nectar in flowers serves chiefly to attract pollinators, such as fruit-eating bats, hummingbirds, sunbirds, and insects. Nectaries are usually located at the base of the flower stamens, which draw animal visitors into contact with the pollen to be transferred.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nectar from floral nectaries is sometimes used as a reward to insects, such as ants, that protect the plant from predators. Many floral families have evolved a nectar spur.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nectar is produced in glands known as nectaries. The glands are commonly found at the base of flowers, where they produce nectar as a reward for pollinators. However, there are also extrafloral nectaries located elsewhere on the plant, often on the leaves or petiole – the stalk that attaches the leaf blade to the stem.

Detailed explanation-4: -nectar : the drink of the Greek and Roman gods. b : something delicious to drink. c : a beverage of fruit juice and pulp. 2 : a sweet liquid that is secreted by the nectaries of a plant and is the chief raw material of honey.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nectar (noun, “NECK-ter”) This is a sugary liquid that plants secrete from structures called nectaries. Usually, these nectaries are found inside flowers. The nectar attracts pollinators such as beetles, bees, birds and bats. The animals get a sweet drink, and the plant gets its pollen stuck to the animal.
