AI overview
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from one part of a plant (the anther) to another part (the stigma), which allows plants to be fertilized and produce seeds. This process happens through various agents including insects like bees and butterflies, birds, bats, wind, and water, making it a vital interaction for plant reproduction.
