Vedclass · Answer

(B) : Pollination by wind is called anemophily,and plants that utilize this method are called anemophilous plants.Anemophilous flowers are typically small and inconspicuous.They produce a large number of pollen grains that are small,dry,and lightweight,allowing them to be carried over long distances (up to $1300 \ km$) by the wind.The stigma is often feathery or brush-like to effectively trap airborne pollen.These flowers do not produce nectar or scent,as they do not need to attract biotic pollinators.Grasses are common examples of anemophilous plants.
