The pod in the iris plant refers to the seed capsule that develops after flowering. Once the iris blooms and the flowers are pollinated, the ovary matures into a pod containing seeds. These pods typically dry out and split open when ripe, releasing the seeds for dispersal. The pod plays a crucial role in the plant's reproductive cycle, allowing for the propagation of new iris plants.
