Wind pollinated plants are adapted to ensure that grains of pollen can easily be carried by the wind from male to female parts of flowers, to ensure fertilization can take place.

Why do wind pollinated flowers produce more pollen?

The pollination or pollen grain dispersal takes place by the wind agent is called as anemophily. Explanation: The wind pollinating plants produce numerous light weighted pollen grains so that they can easily be blown by the air and may cause cross-pollination between different plants belonging to the same species.

Which flowers are pollinated by the wind?

They're usually drifting through the warm spring air. These seeds are the end product of wind pollination, which occurs in many of the hardwood trees of temperate North America, such as the willow, cottonwood, popular and alder. Flowers such as dandelions are also wind pollinated.
