How does a rafflesia reproduce?

Answer 1

through an animal that eats it and poops it out or by a fly (dung flies) that carry the seeds to another rafflesia but if an animal carries it and poops it out it needs to pooop it out on a host that a rafflesia can survive on:)

Answer 2

Although the parasitic Rafflesia arnaldii plant lives within its host vine and has no visible leaves, stems or roots, it does occasionally produce a flower.

This huge, stinking flower attracts insects which carry pollen from the male flowers to pollinate female flowers. The fruits are eaten by animals and the hard coated seeds are spread through the rainforest. Only the seeds that fall onto the right host vine have a chance of surviving.
