Flowers are the reproductive structures of angiosperms (flowering plants), consisting of four main parts: sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels, each playing a crucial role in reproduction, pollination, and the attraction of pollinators. Their structure facilitates the processes of fertilization and seed development, ensuring the continuation of the species.
