Detailed explanation-1: -In cross pollinating plants, pollen grains fall and germinate on the stigma. This process is called pollination.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The goal of every living organism, including plants, is to create offspring for the next generation. One of the ways that plants can produce offspring is by making seeds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pollination : The mechanism of transferring pollen grains from anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower of the same or different plant is called pollination. The pollen grains can be transferred to the stigma of the flower through wind, water and insects called pollinating agents.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Pollen is transferred from one flower to another through different vectors, including wind, water, birds, insects, butterflies, bats, and other animals. Animals and insects capable of carrying and dispersing pollen grains are collectively called pollinators.
