Question

give one reason why anemophily is common in dicotyledonous plants?​

Answer 1

Anemophily is referred to as pollination through the wind.

Explanation:

Following are the reason why anemophily is common in dicotyledonous plants:-

• The pollen grains are light and non-sticky, so they can easily be carried by air currents.
• The flowers have well-exposed stamens so that the pollens are easily dispersed into wind currents.
• Flowers have large feathery stigma to easily trap the airborne pollen grans.
• Presence of single ovule in each ovary.
• Flowers packed into an inflorescence.
• It is quite common in grasses.
• Examples:- Maize, Wheat, Sugarcane
