Detailed explanation-1: -Pollination is an essential part of plant reproduction. Pollen from a flower’s anthers (the male part of the plant) rubs or drops onto a pollinator. The pollinator then take this pollen to another flower, where the pollen sticks to the stigma (the female part). The fertilized flower later yields fruit and seeds.
Detailed explanation-2: -Wind-pollinated flowers have a large, feathery stigma in order to trap the airborne pollen grains.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wind-pollinated plants produce lots of lightweight, smooth pollen. However, insect-pollinated plants don’t produce as much pollen and the pollen is heavy and sticky.
Detailed explanation-4: -The stigma is the sticky surface at the top of the pistil; it traps and holds the pollen. The style is the tube-like structure that holds up the stigma. The style leads down to the ovary that contains the ovules. Other parts of the flower that are important are the petals and sepals.
