Pollination by bats is called "Chiropterophily." Bats play an important role in pollinating certain plant species, especially those that bloom at night and produce large, fragrant flowers. As bats feed on nectar, pollen sticks to their bodies and is transferred from one flower to another, facilitating the pollination process. Chiropterophilous plants often have adaptations such as light-colored, sturdy flowers and a strong fragrance to attract bats. |
