Verified Answer :

So In the interest of time I'm just gonna have the flower part and the function directly beside it.  

The parts and their function are as follows:

1. Pistil - female part of the flower {consists of the stigma style and ovary}

2. Stamen- makes pollen {consists of the anther and filament and the anther
                                          is responsible for pollen production} 

3. sepal- 
protects the ovary {at the base of the flower on the outside of the                                                                  ovary and acts as a second layer there}

4. receptacle- 
attaches the flower to the stem {a stem like structure  below
                                                                              the ovary connecting the                                                                                                 flower to a main stem.}

5. petals-  
attract pollinators {in animal pollinated flowers, the petals are colorful
                                                  and sweet-scented thus attracting bees
                                                  and birds that will help the pollen get from the
                                                  anther to the stigma}
