(biology) the process of producing plant seeds by transferring a powdery substance from one plant to the other
Esempio
Wind pollination is common in grasses and many trees, where pollen is carried from one plant to another by air currents.
Some plants, like orchids, have evolved specific adaptations for pollination by attracting particular insects with their unique shapes and scents.
Pollination can also occur through water, as seen in aquatic plants where pollen grains travel through the water to reach other plants for fertilization.
Bees play a crucial role in pollination by transferring pollen between flowers as they collect nectar, ensuring the reproduction of many plant species.
Farmers often rely on natural pollination or introduce managed pollinators like honeybees to increase crop yields and ensure fruit and seed production.
