Which of the following is NOT a component of a flower?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Spines.
In a flower, the main components are:
- Androecium: The male reproductive part of a flower, consisting of stamens.
- Corolla: The petals of a flower collectively, which are often colorful and attract pollinators.
- Calyx: The outermost whorl of a flower, made up of sepals that protect the flower bud.
Spines are not part of a flower's structure; they are typically modified plant structures for defense.
