BOTANY

Detailed explanation-1: -A pollinator is an animal that moves pollen from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma of a flower. This helps to bring about fertilization of the ovules in the flower by the male gametes from the pollen grains.

Detailed explanation-2: -A pollinator is the agent that causes that transfer. Pollinators range from physical agents, especially the wind (wind pollination is called anemophily), or biotic agents such as insects, birds, bats and other animals (pollination by insects is called entomophily, by birds ornithophily, by bats chiropterophily).

Detailed explanation-3: -Pollination, which occurs through the means of animals, is known as zoophily.

Detailed explanation-4: -Insect pollinators include bees, (honeybees, solitary species, bumblebees); pollen wasps (Masarinae); ants; a variety of flies including bee flies and hoverflies; lepidopterans, both butterflies and moths; and flower beetles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Pollination by insects is called entomophily and pollination by birds is called ornithophily. Pollination by vertebrates is known as zoophily. Abiotic agents – Wind and water. Wind pollination is known as anemophily and pollination by water is called hydrophily.
