What exactly is pollination?

Pollen is the yellow substance that a male flower part (Anther) makes. Pollination is the act of transfer the pollen from the male flower part onto the female flower part (Stigma). Once the pollen has been transferred to the female flower part, the pollen then travels downwards to fertilize the eggs. Once the eggs are fertilized, they will turn into seeds and then baby plants! When this process all happens on the same plant it’s called self-pollination. When the pollen from one flower travels to a different plant, it’s called cross-pollination. Both the wind and animals aid in the process of cross-pollination!
