Detailed explanation-1: -A flower is the part of an angiospermic plant that is involved in sexual reproduction. The four organs of the flower namely sepals, petals, stamens, and carpel are the floral features. These are conserved for generations and hence are used for identification and classification of angiosperms.
Detailed explanation-2: -At the centre of the flower are the carpels, collectively called the gynoecium. Carpels are megasporophylls that enclose one or more ovules, each with an egg. After fertilization, the ovule matures into a seed, and the carpel matures into a fruit. Carpels, and thus fruit, are unique to angiosperms.
Detailed explanation-3: -The success of angiosperms is due to two novel reproductive structures: flowers and fruit. The function of the flower is to ensure pollination. Flowers also provide protection for the ovule and developing embryo inside a receptacle. The function of the fruit is seed dispersal.
