The main function of the flower stalk is to transport water and nutrients via the xylem and phloem to all parts of the plant. The Xylem transports cells that circulate water and dissolved minerals from the roots, while the phloem transports to the rest of the plant the sugars and other molecules created by the plant during photosynthesis.
Another function of the flower stalk is to hold the flower above the foliage of the plant so that bees and other insects, as well as birds, can feed in order to facilitate pollination.
