Rafflesia arnoldii is a tropical plant with a huge blood-red flower, which emits heat and emits the smell of decomposed meat. What use are these adaptations to this plant
Explanation:
The smell is adaptation for pollination.This is because it attracts insects which carry on the process of pollination.
Its possible Endothermy characteristic is for mimicry Its releases heat to attract the pollinators- blowflies.The endothermic mechanism is well pronounced during flora development: which further buttress the fact that this is related to pollination to attract blowflies, and not to thermoregulation.
