Q

What is pollination?

A

Pollination is a flowering plant’s first step in reproduction. It is practically the shifting/moving of seeds/pollen from one plant to another by insects or wind. Pollination is crucial, because without it, angiosperms wouldn’t be able to reproduce and thus, they would go extinct. Flowers pollinated by insects are usually bright, colorful, and large to attract the insects, while flowers pollinated by wind are mainly small, dull, and inconspicuous because they don’t need to attract insects.
