Do plants have sex?

Except for " pay-for-cake " types, overnight fun and lots of other complexities in life, plants also have sex completely.

When people break a flower that radiates a fragrant aroma from a tree, they are actually taking away the reproductive part of the plant. The " male " part of the flower is the stamens filled with chalk, while the " female " part is a flower that contains eggs.

Most plants grow bisexual flowers (including male and female genitalia), but plants such as cucurbits grow their own male and female flowers. And as new evolutionary biologists discovered, plants with bisexual flowers or male flowers produce more seeds. Why is this still a mystery, but it is possible that the male flower consumes less energy of the plant so it is easier to produce more seeds.

So how does the flower plant do it?

By nature as a termite - wind, animals or water will bring pollen to sprinkle on the pistil heads with adhesive. The seeds begin to germinate and crawl to the ovary. Eventually pollen grains will touch some egg and eventually the seeds will be born.

But flowers are not the only way for trees to do that. Fan leaves have two types of male and female plants. The male produces the incubated spores in the sperm, swimming to the egg inside the female ovule. However, there are trees like duckweed that don't need it. They produce leaf-shaped seedlings and separate themselves, growing into mature plants.
