Explanation:

When iron gets in contact with oxygen (or water, which also contains oxygen) it starts giving electrons to the oxygen atoms, in a process called oxidisation, and when that occurs, iron oxide ( $Fe_2 O_3$ ) is made.

Note: iron oxide is what we call rust. And, iron is so easy to rust because it usually isn't mixed with any other protective metals or covered in protective films.

Hope it helped,

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The change in color in the flowers is because the plant has absorbed the dyed water. After some hours, we can see that the water has ascended through the roots, the stem and reached the flower petals. We can see the water's path till it evaporates in a process called transpiration, which returns water to the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Plants absorb water and other nutrients so that they can live. When we add ink into the water, we can see the water's path from the roots, up the stem, the leaves, and the flowers. In the flowers, the water evaporates through the stomata. We call this process transpiration. The ink allows us to see that the water was in the petals, but it evaporates, leaving behind the ink. As water evaporates, the plant drinks more, which results in a more intense color in the petals.

The very inside of the flower, at the center is the ovary. The ovary extends upwards to become the style and then the stigma on top of that. All three of these structures combined are called the pistil. Surrounding the style can be one or more filaments each with an anther on the top which contains the pollen. Around all of those structures are the petals, when combined are the corolla. At the base of the corolla, there are green leaves called calyx.directly under the ovary is the peduncle or stem. Please see the attached diagram for more information.
