Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When insects land on a flower, pollen grains tend to stick to their bodies. The insect then moves from one to another flower of the same species, pollen gets transferred to the stigma of flowers and hence causing pollination.

Detailed explanation-2: -Animals help in pollination and seed dispersal. Animals disperse seeds by carryng them on their body or by eating the fruit of a plant and disposing the seeds at some other location as they move.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
