How do Flowers Contribute to Plant Reproduction?

  • Flowers are special parts of plants that help them make seeds.
  • They attract bees, butterflies, and other animals with their bright colors and sweet smells.
  • These animals help flowers by moving pollen from one flower to another. This process is called pollination.

Example 1: When a bee visits a flower to drink nectar, it picks up pollen on its body. Later, when the bee goes to another flower, it drops the pollen there, helping the flower make seeds.

Example 2: Some flowers are pollinated by the wind. The wind blows pollen from one flower to another, helping them to grow seeds even without animals.

Example 3: Hummingbirds love certain flowers. When they sip nectar from flowers, they take pollen with them to other flowers, which helps those flowers reproduce too.

Fun Fact: Different flowers attract different pollinators! Some flowers are made for bees, while others are made just for butterflies or hummingbirds.
