FLOWER IS THE REPRODUCTIVE PART OF A PLANT.IT IS ATTACHED ON THE AXIS BY A STALK CALLED PEDICEL.FLOWERS ARE OF TWO TYPES .1.UNISEXUAL
2.BISEXUAL
The main function of a flower is to provide a platform for the sexual reprductive system of the plant.The flower also provides a mechanism to attract pollinators to facilitate pollination.The flower is divided into four floral whorls and all the whorls are arranged on a structure called the 'THALAMUS'.The four floral whorls are:-
1.Calyx
2.Corolla
3.Androecium
4.Gynoecium

The normal flower has three basic functions:
1. It provides a platform for the sexual reproductive system of the plant (androecium - male and gynoecium - female) - both monoecious and diecious flowers. Within the flower pollen and ovules are produced normally through the process of meiosis.Pollination takes place and ovules form into seeds, with the swollen ovary normally forming into a fruit (or seed pod). Flowers are a feature normally associated with angiosperms, and cones characteristic of gymnosperms.
2. It provides a mechanism to attract pollinators to facilitate pollination (petals) - monoecious flowers and diecious flowers. Flowers provide a visual attractant to many pollinators (insects, birds, animals etc.), this is also sometimes in conjunction with a scented attractant such as nectar. These sensory "lures" attract insects which then transfer pollen between the flowers and facilitate pollination (either cross pollination or self pollination).
3. It provides a platform for fertilized ovules to develop and be distributed as fruit and seeds - monoecious flowers and female diecious flowers only.

A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also called angiosperms). The biological function of a flower is to effect reproduction, usually by providing a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs. Flowers my facilitate outcrossing (fusion of sperm and eggs from different individuals in a population) or allow selfing (fusion of sperm and egg from the same flower). Some flowers produce diaspores without faertilization (parthenocarpy). Flowers contain sporangia and are the site where gametophytes develop. Flowers give rise to fruit and seeds. Many flowers have evolved to be attractive to animals, so as to cause them to be vectors for the transfer of pollen.
In addition to facilitating the reproduction of flowesring plants, flowers have long been admired and used by humans to beautify their environment, and also as objects of romance, ritual, religion, medicine and as a source of food.
hope this helps
