The flower is the part of the plant that is responsible for reproducing other flowers.
Bees, butterflies, and other insects go from flower to flower carrying pollen. When the pollen meets the egg of the plant, a new plant is formed.
The Flower
Click the butterfly for more on pollination.
The leaf of the plant makes the food. Sun + Water + Carbon Dioxide = Sugar + Oxygen
The Leaf
CO2
O2
Sugar/glucose
