Detailed Solution

The main function of a flower is reproduction — it helps plants produce seeds and fruits for the next generation.

A flower is the reproductive part of flowering plants (angiosperms). It contains male and female reproductive organs that take part in pollination and fertilization.

Main Functions

Reproduction: Flowers produce male gametes (pollen) and female gametes (ovules).
Pollination: The transfer of pollen from anther to stigma helps fertilization.
Fertilization: Male and female gametes fuse to form a zygote.
Seed and Fruit Formation: The zygote develops into a seed, and the ovary becomes fruit.
Attraction of Pollinators: Bright colors, fragrance, and nectar attract insects and birds.
