[|Human|] Is a ligula a type of flower?
[|AI|] No, ligula is not a type of flower. In botanical terms, a ligula is a strap-shaped structure, such as the elongated flat structure at the top of a grass leaf or the strap-shaped ray floret in some composite flowers. However, it may be confused with the Ligularia, which is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, commonly called the leopard plant, groundsel, or ragwort.
