Plants use flowers to reproduce, and Angiosperm are flowering plants.

And we will discuss about how


they reproduce.

First let’s look at the reproductive parts of a flowering plant or angiosperm.

a fruit develops from the ovary of a flowering plant

Male parts – Stamen


Stamen - filament and the anther
filament - stalk that supports the anther, often long enough that the anther sits above the top of the
pistil to allow for self-pollination
anther - produces pollen

female parts – pistil


pistil - stigma, style, ovary
stigma - sticky in order to collect pollen
style - stalk that supports the stigma
ovary - fertilization occurs, seeds are in it, develops into fruit.

Sepal - protects a developing flower bud


Petals - attracts the pollinators

Pollinators, they are organisms that assist in the transfer of pollen, they can be insects, birds, wind, and
water.

Now let’s discuss their sexual reproductive cycle.

Germination
When a seed lands in a suitable environment, it undergoes germination, where it absorbs water and
begins to grow into a new plant.

Vegetative Growth
The germinated seed gives rise to a seedling, and as it grows, it enters the vegetative phase,
characterized by the development of leaves, stems, and roots.

Flowering
The plant reaches maturity and produces flowers, which contain the reproductive organs.

Pollination
Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a flower. This process can
occur through various means, including wind, water, insects, birds, or other animals.
Self-Pollination: Pollen from the same flower or plant is transferred to the stigma of the same flower or
plant
Cross-Pollination: Pollen is transferred from the flower of one plant to the stigma of a flower on a
different plant.

Fertilization:
Once the pollen reaches the stigma, it develops a pollen tube that grows down into the ovary. The sperm
cells move through the pollen tube to reach the ovule, where fertilization occurs.
Seed Formation:
After fertilization, the ovule develops into a seed. The ovary surrounding the ovule develops into a fruit.

Seed Dispersal:
The mature fruit aids in the dispersal of seeds. This can happen through various mechanisms, such as
wind, animals, water, or explosive mechanisms in some plants.

Germination (Again):

The cycle completes when the seed lands in a suitable environment and undergoes germination
repeating the cycle again.
