General knowledge

Science: the sunflower is not one flower but an inflorescence of many small florets (a capitulum); the parts of a flower are sepals, petals, stamens (male part) and pistil or carpel (female part).

विज्ञान में सूरजमुखी एक फूल नहीं बल्कि अनेक छोटे पुष्पकों (florets) का पुष्पक्रम (capitulum) है; फूल के भाग sepals, petals, stamens (नर भाग, पुंकेसर) और pistil या carpel (मादा भाग, स्त्रीकेसर) हैं।
