Comprehension Passage
Pollination is a crucial biological process in flowering plants, facilitating the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a pistil, necessary for fertilization and subsequent seed production. As both male and female gametes are non-motile and cannot move on their own, the process of pollination becomes essential for bringing them together. Plants utilize various external agents to achieve this objective, evolving diverse adaptations to attract these agents. Pollination is indispensable for plant reproduction, ecosystem stability, and agricultural productivity, underscoring its biological and ecological significance.

A. The flowers of Vallisneria are colourful and produce nectar.
