Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Introduction. Crocus sativus, commonly known as saffron crocus, is a delicate-looking lavender plant that produces stigmas. When harvested and dried, these stigmas create saffron. Saffron is a spice that has been used by humans since ancient times.
Detailed explanation-2: -The flower has three stigmas, which are the distal ends of the plant’s carpels. Together with its style, the stalk connecting the stigmas to the rest of the plant, these components are often dried and used in cooking as a seasoning and colouring agent.
