Here's why:
* Flowers are the reproductive structures of seed-producing plants. They contain the male and female parts necessary for fertilization.
* The male part (stamen) produces pollen, which contains the male gametes (sperm).
* The female part (pistil) contains the ovules, which are the female gametes (eggs).
* Pollination occurs when pollen is transferred to the pistil, allowing the sperm to fertilize the egg.
* After fertilization, the ovule develops into a seed, which contains the embryo and a food supply.
So, while flowers are the primary reproductive structures, the process ultimately leads to the formation of seeds!
