Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred to the female reproductive organs of a plant, thereby enabling fertilization to take place. The agents involved in transfer of pollen grain from anther to the female reproductive part can be biotic and abiotic agents.
Depending on the type of animal it may be of different types.
Zoophily - Pollination by any animal
Ornithophily - Pollination by birds
Entomophily - Pollination by insects
Chirophterophily - Pollination by bats
