What is pollination?
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to
the stigma. Anther is the male gametes and stigma is
the female gametes. The male and females gametes
must meet for sexual reproduction to take place.
Hence, the pollen from the anther must be
transferred to the stigma. Pollen is a power-liked
substance, it can be easily carried by wind or animals
from the anther to the stigma.
