Petal
(Redirected from Petals)
Petal
A Petal is a constituent part of the flower of a plant. Broadly, it is the part that is often colorful and has the function of attracting pollinators.
Structure
The petal structure can vary significantly in different species. However, they are typically thin, soft and colored to attract animals that help with pollination. The petal's surface may contain cells that have a structure that aids in the reflection of light to increase their visual appeal to insects. In addition to their visual appeal, petals can also have various patterns and smells that also aid in the attraction of pollinators.
Function
The primary function of the petal is to attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies and birds. The petal's bright colors, patterns and scent serve to attract these pollinators and aid in the process of pollination. Some petals also have the function of providing a landing platform for pollinators.
Types of Petals
There are various types of petals that can be found in different species of plants. These include:
- Spatulate Petal: These are petals that are broad at the tip and narrow at the base.
- Oblong Petal: These are petals that are almost the same width throughout.
- Ovate Petal: These are petals that are egg-shaped and broadest near the base.
