Question

Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the stamen to the stigma present in the carpel. Pollination is done by birds, insects, animals, wind, water, it’s accidental. To be pollinated, pollen must be moved from a stamen to the stigma.

Various types of pollination have also been identified based on the vectors of pollen grains or agents of pollination. These pollinators are described under two main classifications:

(1) nonliving pollinators which are also called as abiotic,

(2) living pollinators which are also called as biotic.

Abiotic pollinators such as wind, water, rain and biotic pollinators such as birds, insects, flies, animals.
