Plants with flowers and fruits belonging to the Anthophyta division have developed different structures capturing the feeding interest of different animals, from insects like bees to primates. Colored and big floral structures such as petals can call the attention of those species, but also the resources such as pollen, nectar, fruits, and seeds. We can name these structures then, being the 1 structure the ovule, and the 2 structure the ovary, where a female flower stores its ovules, the 3 structure being the style, and inside, the pollen tube, and the 4 structure the stigma, where the pollen reaches first the female structures. 5 and 6 are the male structures of the flower, the anther, and filament, respectively, and 7 and 8 are the sepals and the receptacle of the flower, being these structures for the protection of the upper floral forms.
