That really depends on the type of plant, but basically any part that makes a seed is a reproductive part:
In flowering plants (i.e. those that produce flowers) the reproductive parts are the flowers and the fruits.
In plants like those that make pine cones, the pine cones are the reproductive organs.
Some plants have spores like the ferns for example.
Other plants reproduce through budding or segmentation(this means that a part of the plant breaks off and a whole new plant grows out of it). If this is the case then the entire plant can be seen as a reproductive organ.
(it wouldn't let me upload the pic but look up a 'flower diagram' and follow along)
Since angiosperms (flowering plants) are the most abundant on earth I will answer this question in relation to them. The non flowering plants can get sort of tricky (and the flowers are pretty to look at anyway!)
So, depending on your plant, some flowers will have male parts, some will have female parts, and some will have both!
On the flower below it is easy to see both the male and female parts.
Male Parts: The Anther is the usually yellowy/ orange fuzzy looking oval on the end of a long stem called a filament. The Anther + Filament = Stamen. This stamen is the Male part of the flower. The pollen is made and released from the anther (that's why its yellowy/ orange, that's the color of pollen!) It is not pictured, but the pollen is very interesting as well. Imagine the outline of Mickey Mouse's head- He has his big face, then his two smaller ears up on top. Well, that's what a pollen looks like, Mickey's ears are the sperms (2 sperm per pollen) and Mickey's face is food for the sperms to survive as long as possible.
Female Parts: In the center of the pretty yellow flower below you will find the Stigma, style and ovary. When pollen lands on the stigma (it has a sticky substance to hold onto the pollen) the pollen will actually grow a long tube all the way down through the stigma, all the way down the style, around the ovary, and will enter the ovary through the bottom (towards the plant, through a hole called a micropyle). When the sperms from the pollen get into the ovary they can pollenate the ovules (eggs) that are inside.
Up at the beginning of my answer, I mentioned how some flowers might only be male or female- not both. Well, those flowers look very similair to this yellow flower, except the males do not have Stigma, Style or Ovary- and the Females do not have Stamens.
Now- go find a flower and see if you can name all of the parts!
The flower is the center for reproduction in most plants. Specifically, the stamen produces the pollen, and the pistil accepts the pollen and carries it to the ovum.

What would you use to assess the reproductive success of a plant?
Mendels Law
What part of a plant collects energy from the sun?
Green part of the plant having chlorophyll traps energy
What would a control be for an experiment to see whether fertilizer helps a plant to grow?
answer: compare a plant not given fertilizer to a plant given fertilizer..
What are the parts of the flower and their function?
what is a flower? List the characteristic of a flower Describe a "not real"flower Name some things on using the best flowers Why would you not order a flowers dish in a restaurant?
What are the two main types of isolation?
That would be geographic isolation and reproductive isolation. Both could lead to speciation.
In which of these cavities would the urinary bladder and internal reproductive organs be found?
The urinary bladder and internal reproductive organs would be found in the pelvic cavity.
Where would you find pollen in a plant?
Pollen is typically found in the male reproductive organs of a plant, specifically in the anthers of the flower. Bees and other pollinators collect pollen from these anthers to transfer it to the female reproductive organs of other flowers for fertilization.
What are the reproductive organs that produce gametes in male and females?
That would be the Gonads.
Plant classification based on the living conditions of plants?
Not so much. Linnaeus started classifying plant by the differences in their reproductive organs. The broad classification by living conditions would probably split plant into water and land based plants.
Where would you locate haploid cells in a cat?
Haploid cells in a cat would typically be found in the reproductive organs, such as the testes and ovaries. These organs produce gametes (sperm and egg cells), which are haploid cells containing half the number of chromosomes as a normal body cell.
Why are most storage organs in a plant found underground?
i believe it is there so that it would be in a safer environment away from predators.
What are reproductive organs that produce gametes in both males and female's?
That would be the Gonads.
If you have two vaginas can you have two babies?
you would probably have to have 2 sets of reproductive organs
What are reproductive organs that produced gametes in both males and females called?
That would be the Gonads.
What are reproductive organs that produce gametes in both men's and females called?
That would be the Gonads.

What would not be found in a plant?
Nervous system would not be found in a plant.
