True or False

Solution

This statement is False.

Explanation:

Insects do visit flowers to obtain food like nectar or pollen, but their primary intention is not to help in pollination. Pollination happens accidentally when pollen grains stick to the insect’s body and are transferred from one flower to another during their visit. Hence, insects visiting flowers to assist pollination is an accidental process, not their main purpose.
