Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
The calyx of sepals protects the bud. The corolla of petals attracts insects for pollination. The androecium of stamens produces pollen grains. The gynoecium or pistil produces ovules and receives pollen.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
The calyx and corolla are accessory whorls; the androecium and gynoecium are essential.
