Solution

Insect pollinated flowers
Pollen from insect-pollinated flowers is frequently sticky and heavy, with a rough surface that makes it easy for them to attach to insects.
Flowers also have pleasant nectar that attracts insects that pollinate the flowers by moving from flower to flower.
Pollen grains are also in modest quantities because insects are more likely to penetrate another flower, whereas pollen grains have a better chance of landing on the stigma.
As a result, pollen grains in vast amounts are not required.
Final answer : Insect pollinated flowers usually possess sticky pollens with a rough surface.
