| 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.
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. |
