Answer 1

Entomophily refers to pollination mediated by insects (entomophilous plants). The term is derived from 'entomon' (insect) and 'phily' (attraction/love for). Insects such as bees, butterflies, beetles, and flies are the primary biotic agents that transfer pollen while feeding on nectar and pollen from flowers.
