Answer:
as they are very light and the seed is too small that it can get crushed by a insect and it also has to blow the feathers to help them grow in a more beautiful area where they can grow very well and make more offsprings!

Answer:
Gymnosperms have simpler pollination as all transmit their pollen by wind. ... When pollen is deposited on the stigma (in angiosperms) or the ovule (in gymnosperms ), it germinates, forming a slender pollen tube through a weakened area of the pollen wall.
2 key features of a wind pollinated plant:
- Stamens and stigmas exposed to air currents. Large amount of pollen.
- Pollen smooth, light, easily airborne. Stigma feathery to catch pollen from wind.
Wind plays an important role in pollination in gymnosperms because pollen is blown by the wind to land on the female cones..
