Answer 2

Strictly speaking, flowers are the reproductive parts of plants, containing the male pollen and female ovules. In nature, when the ovule is fertilized by pollen from the same plant or another plant of the same species, a fruit develops which contains seed. That's how plants reproduce themselves which is essential for survival. The showy and/or fragrant/smelly parts of flowers exist to attract animal pollinators, and for centuries people have hybridized and selected flowers that are attractive or useful to us as well.
The English word flower comes from an Old French word that came from a Latin word. Flowers have been around much longer than we have and so every language has words for them. Some of the oldest words in English are derived from flower names used by the Greeks thousands of years ago.

To beautify our environment and enrich our lives. Botanists (people who study plants) found and still find new species of flowers and so did the ancient civilizations (those who came before us). Plants got their names from botanists who studied them and from those who first discovered them, some are named after people and places or by how the flower looks.
