All types of plants that develop seeds to produce the next generation require pollination, the transfer of pollen from the male to female components. Multiple plant adaptations for pollination have evolved over millions of years to make this happen. How Do Plants Attract Pollinators? Wind, water, and animals are all potential vectors for pollination. Wind and water are passive, moving pollen by chance.

This is a more active and productive form of pollination, but it requires that plants draw in pollinators. They attract bats, bees, butterflies, and other animals through showy flowers and some very specific adaptations. Which Part of a Plant Attracts Pollinators?
