The anatomy of a flower typically includes several key parts: sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. The sepals protect the flower bud before it blooms, while the petals attract pollinators with their color and scent. Stamens are the male reproductive organs, consisting of an anther and filament, producing pollen. Carpels, the female reproductive structures, include the ovary, style, and stigma, where fertilization occurs. Flowers are integral to the reproductive cycle of angiosperms and facilitate cross-pollination and the production of seeds.
