• Pollination is the process by which pollen grains are transferred from the male to the female reproductive organs of a plant, thereby enabling fertilisation to take place.
• The agents involved in transfer of pollen grains are known as pollinating agents.
• Depending on the agent, pollination is of different types.
  • Hydrophily - Pollination by water
  • Ornithophily - Pollination by birds
  • Entomophily - Pollination by insects
  • Anemophily - Pollination by wind
