Question

The foul odour emitted by Amorphophallus flowers serves to attract:

विकल्प

• Hummingbirds

• Fruit bats

• Bees and butterflies

• Flies and beetles

Answer 1

Amorphophallus emits a foul, rotting-flesh odour that mimics decaying organic matter. This scent is specifically attractive to flies and beetles, which naturally seek out dead organisms. The deceptive strategy successfully lures these insects to the flower for pollination.
