Process of wind pollination - Transfering pollen from anther to another flower's stigma by wind
Pollen grain adaptation
- light weight ( wing feature) travel through the air more effieciently
- Anther will hang well clear so they exposed to the wind
- stigma - very large surface area to catch the pollen grain through the wind ( feather like structure)
Some plants like Grass do not need to attract the insects so they don't need colour , scents or food ; No point, only wasting energy because they are the wind pollinated plant.
