In the process of fertilization, plants rely on the collaboration between animals or insects for successful reproduction. It begins with the production of pollen in the anthers, the male reproductive organs of flowers. Animals or insects transfer the pollen grains from the anthers to the pistil, the female reproductive organ, either by wind or through physical contact. The pollen then travels down the pistil until it reaches the ovary, where fertilization takes place, resulting in the formation of seeds. This process ensures genetic diversity and plays a crucial role in the survival and propagation of plant species.
