Solution

Flowers:

  1. These are the reproductive parts of a plant.
  2. In the plants, the floral parts of a flower are inserted into the thalamus, but in some plants, the thalamus gets modified into a stalk that holds the male and female reproductive parts.
  1. Androphore: The modified thalamus that holds the stamens or male reproductive parts is called the androphore.
  2. Gynophore: The modified thalamus that holds the gynoecium or female reproductive parts is called the gynophore.
