Pollination in Lotus
Lotus grows in water but the flower is not submerged in water, it emerges above the water surface. As the flowers are bright in colour, hence, attract insects towards them for pollination.
Pollination in the lotus plant occurs by insects (entomophily). Bees and beetles are attracted to fragrant flowers of the lotus plant and aid in their pollination.
