Flower
A flower, also known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure
found in flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also called
angiosperms).
The biological function of a flower is to mediate the union of male sperm with
female ovum in order to produce seeds.
The process begins with pollination, is followed by fertilization, leading
to the formation and dispersal of the seeds.
For the higher plants, seeds are the next generation, and serve as the primary
means by which individuals of a species are dispersed across the landscape.
The grouping of flowers on a plant are called the inflorescence. In addition
to serving as the reproductive organs of flowering plants,
flowers have long been admired and used by humans, mainly to beautify their
environment but also as a source of food.
