- Gynoecium (Carpel): It is an essential whorl. It is consists of stigma, style and ovary. It acts as a female reproductive part of the flower. It is responsible for the production of female gametes.
- Androecium (Stamen): It is an essential whorl. It is consists of anther and filament. It acts as a male reproductive part of the flower. It is responsible for the production of male gametes.
- Calyx and corolla: Calyx and corolla are accessory whorls. They are responsible for the protection of inner (essential) whorls.
- Pedicel: Pedicel is a small stalk which supports the flower.

When an insect sits on the flower of a plant then some particles A present in the top of little stalks in the flower attach to its body hair. When this insect now sits on the flower of another similar plant, then particles A attached to the hair of insect are put on the top of a flask-shaped organ at the centre of flower. The particle A grows a long tube b from the top of flask-shaped organ through which C moves down and reaches the bottom part of flask-shaped organ. Here C fuses with the nucleus of d contained in structure E. the fusion of C and D forms a new cell f which grows and develops into a seed of the plant.
