### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Hermaphroditism**: - Hermaphroditism in plants refers to the condition where a single flower contains both male (staminate) and female (carpalate) reproductive organs. This allows the plant to produce both pollen and ovules. 2. **Reason for Developing Outbreeding Devices**: - Hermaphrodite angiosperms develop outbreeding devices primarily to avoid inbreeding depression. Inbreeding depression occurs when self-pollination leads to a decrease in genetic diversity, which can reduce the fitness of the offspring. To enhance genetic diversity and improve the chances of survival, these plants have evolved mechanisms to promote cross-pollination. ...
