Explanation / Answer

Although the general, all-encompassing purpose of a flower isusually reproduction, there are many functions a flower can servein this light. "Housing the reproductive organs" may be apassive characteristic of a flower, but it seems to me that theword "function" implies some active, goal oriented purpose. One example of a flower's function is to attract insect to thereproductive organs so that those insects can carry away or deliverpollen.
