Pollination is when pollen moves from the male part of a flower {anther} to the Female part (stigma) . This can happen within the same flower or between different flowers of the same type . When Pollen reaches the stigma , it travels to the ovary helping the flower make seeds and fruits
Types of pollination
Self-pollination : pollen stays in the same flower or moves to another flower on the same plant .
2. Cross - pollination : pollen goes from one plant to another , often with help from wind, water or animals like bees and butterflies .

4. many fruits vegetables and nut we eat depended on pollination
