Detailed explanation-1: -Flowering plants, also called angiosperms, use a sexual mode of reproduction. Reproduction in plants, mainly revolves around the flower, which has both the male and the female gametes. All parts of a flower aid in the process of reproduction, although some of them are sterile.

Detailed explanation-2: -After pollination, fertilization occurs and the ovules grow into seeds within a fruit and all this happens in the flower as it contains male and female reproductive organs. Therefore flower is the site of sexual reproduction in angiosperms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Flower Power Unlike gymnosperms such as conifers and cycads, angiosperm’s seeds are found in a flower. Angiosperm eggs are fertilized and develop into a seed in an ovary that is usually in a flower. The flowers of angiosperms have male or female reproductive organs.

Detailed explanation-4: -As mentioned above, angiosperms have double fertilization. One sperm fuses with the egg to make a diploid zygote, the single cell that through division, growth, and development will eventually yield a sporophyte embryo. The other sperm fuses with the polar nuclei to form a primary endosperm nucleus.
