Description of Plant Fertilization:
Fertilization in plants begins when pollen, which is a fine powder produced by the anther, lands on the stigma of a pistil. The pistil is the part that contains the ovary, where the eggs are located. Once the pollen grain reaches the stigma, it grows a tube down into the ovary and delivers sperm cells to fertilize the eggs. This process leads to the formation of seeds, allowing the plant to reproduce. Pollinators like bees often help carry pollen from one flower to another, making this process happen more easily.
