QUESTION 2.Draw a well labelled diagram of flower and explain its main parts.

Answer. Flower is the reproductive part of a plant. Its main parts are (1) SEPALS (2) PETALS (3) STAMEN (4) PISTIL

(1) SEPALS: sepals protect the flower when it is in the form of a bud.

(2) PETALS: Different colour and scent of petals attract insects, butterflies etc. for pollination.

(3) STAMEN: Stamen is the male part of a flower. Its main parts are filament and anther. It produces pollen grains.
