Solution
Flower is structural unit of sexual reproduction in plants. It consists of four floral whorls as calyx, corolla, androecium and gynoecium; arranged in sequence from outside to inside. Androecium and gynoecium are called 'essential whorls' because they perform the function of reproduction whereas calyx and corolla are called as 'accessory whorls' because they are responsible for protection of inner whorls.
