Pollination is the process in which pollen grains are transferred to the female reproductive part of flowers in the same plant or different plants, thereby enabling fertilisation to take place. The agents involved in transfer of pollen grain from anther to the female reproductive part can be both biotic or abiotic.
The type of pollination by few biotic agents are given below:
Zoophily - Pollination by any animal
Ornithophily - Pollination by birds
Entomophily - Pollination by insects
Chirophterophily - Pollination by bats
