Composite flowers have a unique structure called an inflorescence, which is made up of many tiny individual flowers grouped together on a single stalk. These tiny flowers are arranged in such a way that they appear to be a single flower and they usually have both male and female reproductive structures within them. The most common example of a composite flower is the daisy, but other examples include sunflowers, marigolds, and asters.
The main feature that differentiates composite flowers from other species is that they are made up of many small flowers, called florets, on a single stem. Composite flowers are also known as composite heads, and they can be found in a wide variety of colors and shapes. Examples of composite flowers include daisies, sunflowers, and chrysanthemums.
