Flowers have reproductive organs called pistils and stamens. Pistils are the female organs and stamens are the male organs. Flowers can be classified based on their parts, symmetry, sex, composition, and inflorescence. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anthers to the stigma and can be cross-pollination between plants or self-pollination within a plant. Common agents of pollination include wind, water, insects, mammals, and birds.
