Why is "world" in a phrase "the world's most beautiful flower" followed by apostrophe and s? What about "the world most beautiful flower"? Any significances?
Thank you in advance.

It's an apostrophe of possession.
A long time ago, it would have been written like this:
The world: its most beautiful flower.
Thus "world's" = "world: its".

'The world most beautiful flowers' has no meaning. The apostrophe and s ('s) is there to indicate possession or belonging. They are the most beautiful flowers of the world (belonging to the world).
