Solution
A monocotyledonous plant produces light, non-sticky pollen in large numbers and its stigmas are long and feathery. These modifications facilitate pollination by wind.
Explanation:
The plant produces light, non-sticky pollen in large numbers and has long, feathery stigmas, which are adaptations for wind pollination. Light pollen is easily carried by air, and feathery stigmas catch it effectively, facilitating pollination by wind.
