Plant Pollination In Plants

Nature is everything which surrounds us and one of this is the flower. Flower is a part of a plant. It is a reproductive organ that produces eggs and pollen grains. Flowers are also known as blossom. Many flowers have brightly colored petals and sweet fragrance which make them unique from the other living things. They produce nectar that attracts insect, animals and human too. While the animals eat on the nectar, some pollen grains stick to their bodies. When they move to another flower they carry the pollen and help pollinate those flowers. The pollination by animals are more effectively than pollination by the wind. Why? Because the animals directly move from flower to flower and not like in the wind where the pollen can be carried anywhere. There is an assurance if it is pollinated by the animals. Botanist place all the flowering plants in the angiosperm that’s why flower are also known as angiosperm or magnomophyla. For a deeper explanation, Angiosperm are vascular plants that have flowered and it produced seed in a fruit, in other word a fruiting plant. There are approximately 270,000 known species of angiosperm today. No wonder why it is the largest group of plants on our planet Earth. They are the most common plant group can be seen in the world except in the northern forests. Scientist divided the angiosperm into two groups: monocotyledons and dicotyledons. These words are often shortened to monocot and dicot. A monocot seed has one seed leaf called a cotyledon.
