   The production of a new plant is fascinating, but to realize the complexity, a understanding of the functions and cycles of these parts are necessary. They consist of as listed;Released from the stamen, Tiny pollen particles make a cross country journey on pollinators such as bees, and bats to reach another plants stigma.Once the pollen particles reach the stigma, they slide down the style and make their way into the ovary. The pollen then fertilizes four haploid cells and creates a combined ovum.Depending on the plant this may result in spores or seeds.
