The characteristics of producing light, non-sticky pollen in large numbers and having long, feathery stigmas in a particular plant species facilitate pollination by which of the following?

Wind

The correct answer is Option (3) – Wind

Wind pollination is a common form of abiotic pollination.

• It requires light and non-sticky pollen grains that can be carried by wind currents.
• Wind-pollinated flowers typically have well-exposed stamens, allowing easy dispersal of pollen into the air.
• They often have large, feathery stigmas that are designed to efficiently capture airborne pollen grains.
• Wind-pollinated flowers typically have a single ovule in each ovary.
• Many wind-pollinated flowers are densely packed into inflorescences.
• A familiar example of wind pollination is observed in corn, where the tassels represent the stigma and style that wave in the wind to trap pollen grains.
• Grasses are a common example of plants that rely on wind pollination.
