Question

Anemophily is the process of pollination by which agent?

Options

• Water

• Birds

• Wind

• Insects

Answer 1

Anemophily is the transfer of pollen grains using wind as the agency of pollination. This is an abiotic process where wind currents carry pollen from the anthers of one flower to the stigmas of other flowers. Plants that rely on anemophily, such as wheat, rice, and maize, typically produce large quantities of lightweight pollen to maximize dispersal by wind.
