HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Flowers in plants carry out the reproductive functions of plants. Male and female gametes are fused to produce the seeds. These seeds bear the fruit which undergoes germination to produce new plant structures. This process of reproduction takes place in the reproductive parts of the flower.

Detailed explanation-2: -Seeds are fertilised, mature ovules-the result of sexual reproduction in plants. Not all plants produce seeds, but those that do often rely on these seeds to replicate themselves over successive seasons and years. Seeds are of immense biological and economic importance.

Detailed explanation-3: -Flowers are an important means of attracting pollen substances to plants, and plants need to produce seeds, the reproductive structures that allow seeds to exist for generations. Flowers can also protect growing seeds and successfully pass genetic material to the next generation.

Detailed explanation-4: -In order to make more plants, pollen must move from the male part of a flower to the female part of a flower, and then the pollen tube must grow to the ovary to make a seed. Pollination is the process by which pollen is moved from the male part of a plant to the female part of a plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -Functions: Reproduction and Multiplication: Flowers are the reproductive structures in plants and lead to formation of fruit and seed after fertilization.
