Answer to question 3

The reproductive organs of the plant are stamen, stigma, calyx, pistil, and colas.

Stamen is the male part of a flower. Stigma is responsible for collecting pollen grains. Calyx is a component of sepals and responsible for protecting the inner part of the flower while it is under development. Pistil is the female reproductive part of the flower. Cola is the bud. It is a cluster of buds. In general, the reproductive parts are the androecium (group of stamens) and gynoecium (carpels/pistils).
