In: Science [Edit categories]

Answer:

Parts

petal ( corolla ): is the colourful part of the flower.
sepal ( calyx ) : is the green part of the flower, to protect and to cover the petal.
peduncle: the stalk of a flower
receptacle: the part of the flower above the peduncle
ovule: the inside of ovary. if combined with pollen it becomes seed ( it means that ovule is the egg ).
ovary: the outer of ovule.
anther : has pollen in it. it is usually yellow.
filament: holds the anther.
filament + anther = stamen: the male part of the flower
stigma: above the style.
style: below the stigma.
ovary + ovule + stigma + style = pistil: the female part of the flower. protects the seed.
