Detailed explanation-1: -Flowers produce a sugary liquid called nectar which many insects consume on a large basis. 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: -Animal pollinators play a crucial role in flowering plant reproduction and in the production of most fruits and vegetables. Most plants require the assistance of pollinators to produce seeds and fruit.
Detailed explanation-3: -Flowers produce nectar as a reward for pollination, the process of transferring pollen from flower to flower. Many flowers need pollen to reproduce. However, because plants are immobile they need help with pollen transfer. An animal that transfers pollen from flower to flower is called a pollinator.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
