Shoots

Flowers are modifications of the shoots of an angiospermic plant. Flowers are specialized structures that arise from modified shoot systems. The shoot system of a plant includes stems, branches, and buds. Flowers develop from floral buds, which are specialized structures formed on the shoot system. These floral buds undergo specific developmental processes to give rise to flowers. Flowers are responsible for reproductive functions in angiosperms, including the production of male and female reproductive structures, pollination, and subsequent seed and fruit formation.

Flowers are made up of four main parts: sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels.

• Sepals are the outermost whorl of a flower and are usually green. They protect the flower bud as it develops.
• Petals are the colorful part of a flower and are often fragrant. They attract pollinators to the flower.
• Stamens are the male reproductive organs of a flower. They produce pollen, which is needed to fertilize the egg in the carpel.
• Carpels are the female reproductive organs of a flower. They contain the egg and produce the fruit after fertilization.

Flowers are an important part of the angiosperm life cycle. They are how angiosperms reproduce and spread their genes to new generations.
