Flowers are the seed-bearing reproductive organs of plants. They typically have brightly colored petals and green sepals surrounding the stamens and carpels. The main parts of a flower include the peduncle, receptacle, sepals, petals, stamen, anther, pistil, stigma, ovary, and pollen. Pollen grains land on the stigma and grow a pollen tube down the style to the ovary, where the sperm nuclei fuse with ovules to produce seeds in the ovary which becomes a fruit. Insects help transfer pollen between flowers, aiding the plant pollination process.
