A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants
(plants of the division Angiospermae). The biological function of a flower is to facilitate reproduction,
usually by providing a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs. Flowers may facilitate outcrossing
(fusion of sperm and eggs from different individuals in a population) resulting from cross-pollination or allow selfing
(fusion of sperm and egg from the same flower) when self-pollination occurs.
