| Zucchini and many other squash plants feature pistillate flowers, or flowers with only female reproductive structures, and staminate flowers, those with only male reproductive structures, growing on the same plant. Plants of this type are called mooecious species. In dioecious species, such as date trees, staminate and pistillate flowers are found on different plants. Successful reproduction depends on male reproductive cells from the plant with the staminate flowers being transferred to the plant with the pistillate flowers. |
