pollination

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma.

Detailed explanation-2: -The transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a flower is called pollination. If the pollens are tranferred from anther of one flower to stigma of another flower of the same species, it is called cross pollination.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pollination can be accomplished by cross-pollination or by self-pollination: Cross-pollination, also called allogamy, occurs when pollen is delivered from the stamen of one flower to the stigma of a flower on another plant of the same species.

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.
