Solution

(a) The insects, butterflies, honeybees and birds help flowering plants in pollination.

Pollination is the process of transferring pollen grains from the male part of a flower (anther) to the female part of a flower (stigma). The pollen grains are carried from flower to flower by pollinating animals such as birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths, beetles or by the wind. It is the process by which plants create offspring for the next generation.
