Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther of a male plant's flower to the stigma of a female plant's flower. The male anther produces pollen, which contains the plant's male reproductive cells. These pollen grains are transferred to the stigma, which is part of the female reproductive organ called the pistil. From there, a pollen tube grows down the pistil, allowing the male reproductive cells to reach the ovary, where fertilization takes place. This process ensures the fusion of male and female gametes, leading to the formation of seeds and the production of new plants.
