Flowering plants are the dominant plant form on land and they reproduce by sexual and asexual means. Often their most distinguishing feature is their reproductive organs, commonly called flowers. The anther produces male gametophytes, the sperm is produced in pollen grains, which attach to the stigma on top of a carpel, in which the female gametophytes (inside ovules) are located. After the pollen tube grows through the carpel's style, the sex cell nuclei from the pollen grain migrate into the ovule to fertilize the egg cell and endosperm nuclei within the female gametophyte in a process termed double fertilization. The resulting zygote develops into an embryo, while the triploid endosperm (one sperm cell plus two female cells) and female tissues of the ovule give rise to the surrounding tissues in the developing seed. The ovary, which produced the female gametophyte(s), then grows into a fruit, which surrounds the seed(s). Plants may either self-pollinate or cross-pollinate. Seeds develop from the ovules in the female plant, after they have been fertilized by the pollen from the male parent plant. This is termed 'sexual reproduction', as seeds contain the genes of both the male and female parent, and usually both male and female flowers are required to produce seeds. Sometimes, the male and female flowers are from separate plants, sometimes they are from the same plant, and sometimes a flower may be fertilized by its own pollen.

Different plants reproduce in different ways. Some plants reproduce asexually, others do use a type of sexual reproduction. Flowering plants in particular reproduce both sexually and asexually. Reproduction in flowering plants involves the production of gametes, the transfer of the male gametes to the female ovules is through pollen. The release of pollen from plants is similar to the release of sperm in animal life. Pollen can be carried by the wind, or by insect and animal life. After the pollen fertilizes the flowering plant, it produces fruit or some other means of releasing seeds. Plants can cross pollinate, or self pollinate. Non flowering plants use alternate methods of reproduction.
