The parts of a flower
A flower has male parts (the stamen) and female parts (the pistil) that work together to make seeds. Here is what happens at each labeled part of the diagram:
| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| Petal | The colorful part that attracts insects and birds to the flower. |
| Sepal | A small leaf-like part that protects the flower bud before it opens. |
| Stamen | The male part of the flower, made of the anther and the filament. |
| Anther | Produces pollen at the top of the stamen. |
| Filament | The stalk that holds up the anther. |
| Pistil | The female part of the flower, made of the stigma, style and ovary. |
| Stigma | The sticky top of the pistil that catches pollen. |
| Style | The stalk that connects the stigma to the ovary. |
| Ovary | Holds the ovules that become seeds after fertilization. |
