Flower reproduction is primarily a form of sexual reproduction. Flowers are reproductive structures that facilitate the process of pollination and fertilization, which involves the union of male and female gametes.
In flowering plants (angiosperms), male gametes (pollen) are produced in the anthers, while female gametes (ovules) are found in the ovary. When pollinators like bees transfer pollen from one flower to the stigma of another, fertilization can occur, leading to the formation of seeds.
However, some plants can also reproduce asexually through methods such as vegetative propagation, where new plants grow from parts of the parent plant, such as roots, stems, or leaves. While asexual reproduction does occur in flowering plants, the typical reproductive process associated with flowers is sexual.
