Solution

Maize

Explanation:

Maize bears anemophilous flowers, which are adapted for wind pollination, characterized by producing a large amount of light, smooth pollen grains and having long, protruding stamens and feathery stigmas. Other options like vallisneria are water-pollinated, and salvia and kigelia have entomophilous (insect-pollinated) flowers.
