Detailed explanation-1: -In order for a seed to develop, pollen has to move from male to female parts of flowers and grow down to the ovary. Pollinators visit flowers to eat the sweet nectar and accidentally move pollen from stamen to stigma.
Detailed explanation-2: -Only after pollination, when pollen has landed on the stigma of a suitable flower of the same species, can a chain of events happen that ends in the making of seeds. A pollen grain on the stigma grows a tiny tube, all the way down the style to the ovary.
Detailed explanation-3: -After pollination, these gametes move to the ovule, where they combine with female gametes, which also contain half the quota of chromosomes. This process is called fertilisation. After fertilisation, the combined cell grows into an embryo inside a seed.
