Gametes are delicate single cells. For two plants to cross fertilize, there must be a mechanism for the two gametes to reach each other safely. There must also be a mechanism to disperse their offspring far enough away from the parent so that they do not have to compete with the parent for light, water, and soil minerals. The functions of the flower solve both of these problems.

They were followed by liverworts (also bryophytes) and primitive vascular plants—the pterophytes—from which modern ferns are derived.

Students engage in lab exercises that include flower dissection and explore various fruit types, including seedless varieties and classifications of dry fruits. The significance of seed dispersal mechanisms and genetic diversity through pollination methods is highlighted, along with practical aspects of embryonic development and germination.

Strawberries are a special type of fruit called an accessory fruit, which does not develop from the ovary of the flower but instead develops from the receptacle (the part that connects the flower to the stem).
