Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The flower with the world’s largest bloom is the Rafflesia arnoldii. This rare flower is found in the rainforests of Indonesia. It can grow to be 3 feet across and weigh up to 15 pounds! It is a parasitic plant, with no visible leaves, roots, or stem.
Detailed explanation-2: -Though the Titan Arum’s proportions are occasionally larger, that plant is technically an inflorescence (a cluster of blooms) rather than a single flower, giving Rafflesia arnoldii the title of world’s largest individual flower.
Detailed explanation-3: -Often called the corpse flower, Rafflesia arnoldii blooms into the single largest individual flower in the world.
