Flowers have distinct structures that allow for reproduction. A flower consists of a pedicel, bracts, receptacle, perianth, hypanthium, nectaries, androecium, and gynoecium. The androecium refers to the male organs or stamens, while the gynoecium refers to the female organs or carpels. Flowers can be complete or incomplete, perfect or imperfect, and plant sex can be hermaphroditic, monoecious, or dioecious.
