This is the flower's attachment to the stalk (the part that holds the flower up) and in some cases becomes part of the fruit after fertilization. In example, a strawberry grows from the receptacle.

The flower receptacle is the part of the flower where all the floral parts (sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels) are attached. It supports these parts and provides a base for the flower. Additionally, it plays a role in protecting the developing ovary and facilitating pollination.
