Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants

Question:
Anemophily takes place by which of the following?
Options:
wind
Bat
Snail
Bird
Correct Answer:
wind
Explanation:
Anemophily takes place by "wind." Anemophily is a method of pollination where pollen is transported from the male reproductive organs of a flower to the female reproductive organs by the action of wind. This type of pollination is commonly observed in plants with small, inconspicuous flowers that produce large quantities of lightweight and easily dispersed pollen. Examples of anemophilous plants include grasses, trees like pine, and certain weeds.
