When pollen is transported by wind, this is called wind pollination
Many of the world's most important crop plants are wind-pollinated. These include wheat, rice, corn, rye, barley, and oatsWind-pollinated plants do not invest in resources that attract pollinating organisms, such as showy flowers, nectar, and scent. Instead, they produce larger quantities of light, dry pollen from small, plain flowers that can be carried on the wind. Female structures on wind pollinated plants are adapted to capture the passing pollen from the air,
