Pollination is the process in which pollen grains are transferred from the anther to the stigma of a flower. This is a crucial step in the reproduction of flowering ᵖˡᵃⁿᵗˢ.

There are two main types of pollination:
1. Self-pollination – Pollen is transferred from the anther to the stigma of the same flower or another flower on the same plant.

2. Cross-pollination – Pollen is transferred from the anther of one flower to the stigma of a flower on a different plant of the same species.

Pollination can occur through various agents like wind, water, insects (like bees and butterflies), birds, and even animals.
