TYPES OF PLANTS AND POLLINATION
Plants are divided into two different types of plants: flowering plants, and nonflowering plants. Some examples of flowering plants are: roses, daises, and tulips. Some examples of nonflowering plants are trees such as pine and spruce. Both types of these plants have a similar process at which they grow. Plants also have both male and female parts. Pollen from a plant is carried by the wind, bees, or other insects in order to fertilize the female parts of the plant (flowering part). After it has been fertilized then a cone or a seed is produced. These cones or seeds are then capable of creating a new plant.
An example of plants that need wind pollination is grass, large pines, and weeds. This type of pollen is very light and can easily be blown by the wind, land on a plant and fertilize them.
An example of plants that need insect pollination are flowers. This process begins when a bee goes from flower to flower gathering nectar. The tiny grains of pollen then stick to the hairy legs of the bee. Then when the bee flies to another plant the nectar rubs off onto the flower and that is how it is fertilized.
