Ovary | Bottom part of the sigma eggs cells develop into fruit |
Ovules | Structure that gives rise to and contain the female reproduction cell, after fertilization ovule develops into a seed |
Pollen | Carried by insects to fertilize plants |
Complete flower | has both male and female parts |
Incomplete flower | Has only male or female parts |
Flowers | Attracts insects for pollination (sex reproduction) |
Leaves | Function primarily in food manufacture by photosynthesis |
Seeds | Function propagation of the plant |
Stem | Main body of the plant, support, passage for food and water |
Root | Anchor the plant, help in absorption and food absorption |
Xylem | Vascular bundle that carries water and nutrients from the root to the leaves |
