The scientific study of gardening is called horticulture. Horticulture encompasses the cultivation of plants, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants, as well as the study of plant physiology, propagation techniques, and pest management in gardening.
The seeds of deciduous trees form inside structures called fruits. These fruits develop from the flowers of the tree and protect the seeds as they mature. When the seeds are ready, the fruits open or fall to the ground, allowing the seeds to disperse and potentially germinate.
Angiosperms produce flowers, which contain reproductive structures called ovaries that develop into fruits containing seeds. Fruits serve as a means of seed dispersal by attracting animals to eat and spread the seeds.
Orchids produce flowers to attract pollinators for reproduction, but not all flowers are successfully pollinated and develop into fruits. Orchid pollination can be complex and dependent on specific pollinators, which may not always be available. Without successful pollination, fruits will not develop.
Pollen is yellow due to the presence of pigments called carotenoids. Carotenoids are responsible for giving many fruits, vegetables, and flowers their yellow, orange, or red color. In pollen, carotenoids help attract pollinators such as bees and birds.
