What is the purpose of flowers in nature?

Question

I am doing research for Earth Day and was wondering if anyone knew what the reason is for flowers to exist in nature besides beautifying the Earth. Thanks for any info.

Answer 1

1) To help pollination in plants (We'll die without plants, I'm telling you!)

2) To make a place more beautiful

3) Smells good (Helps relieve stress)

4) Develops into yummy fruit we all love to eat! LOL.

Answer 2

All angiosperms have flowers which contain reproductive organs that after pollination and fertilization produce seeds.  The colorful showy flowers that some plants  have are products of co-evolution with insects and other organisms that disperse the pollen making reproduction more easily accomplished.

Answer 3

Flowers are there to attract insects to pollinate the plants and help them reproduce.
