Question

Give reasons why wind -pollination flowers are small, inconspicuous and have large and feathery stigma

Answer 1

Plants which are pollinated by the wind (Anemophily) have small, inconspicuous flowers and large feathery stigma(s) as they do not require colorful flowers or odour or nectar or landing pad due to the absence of a biotic pollinator.Hence they have large feathery stigmas to make sure the pollen is lifted along with the wind to another flower for reproduction, the feathers act as a parachute to maintain the poolen in the air and also make it light .
