Not a typical flower

Explanation:

The Indian pipe plant (Monotropa uniflora) is a herbaceous plant with a life cycle of about two years. This plant unlike a typical plant is white on all the above ground plants. The petals are not showy and open but turned down and bell- shaped. The leaves are not green and ovoid shaped but are not visually obvious. The plant is about 12 inches tall and only produces a single flower. Unlike most flowers that are pleasantly scented this flower has the smell of rotting corpse. While a most plants are green the most impressive feature of this plant is that it does not produce any chlorophyll and therefore does not depend on photosynthesis. Like all other flowers it does produce fruit and seeds.

answer: carbon 14 can only be used to determine the age of the organisms that were once living, and igneous rocks are non living.

explanation:

carbon 14 dating is used to determine the age of the sample by estimating the amount of carbon 14 present in the sample and then comparing it with a reference standard.carbon 14 is a isotope of carbon which is radioactive and unstable. carbon 14 is assimilated by all plants and animals throughout their life from carbon dioxide. however, one the organisms die they stop this assimilation and the carbon 14 content starts to decrease.by knowing how much of carbon 14 is left in an organism after his death, one can estimate the age of the organism. the materials whose age can be estimated by carbon 14 method are the organic compounds. however, some inorganic compounds such as aragonite shell can also be dated.however, if we consider the igneous rocks it is a non living component which never accumulated carbon 14 in it and thus, we cannot use carbon 14 dating method to estimate its age.
