Flowers are a reproductive structure for some plants. The corpse flower blooms for a short period of time, and it smells like a mixture of rotten food, decaying organisms, and garbage. This repulsive scent attracts pollinating insects to the flower.

Do you think the corpse flower’s smell meets the definition of an adaptation as stated in the video? Explain your response.?
