how do insects and wind help in pollination?
Answers
Very sloppily. They walk all over one flower with their big clodhoppers, picking up pollen from the stamen (and anything else that’s there) as they stumble around in search of nectar. Later, when foraging on another flower, they might transfer some of the pollen onto the 2nd flower’s receptive part (the ovary.)
Some flowers have both parts. So they can self-pollinate. Insects help transfer pollen within the same plant, as well as other plants. Wind also does this.

Explanation:
◆Wind-pollinated flowers don't need to be attractive to insects, so they are usually small and do not produce nectar or have large colourful petals. The anthers dangle in the breeze, and the pollen is blown away. The pollen grains are very small and light so they are easily carried on the wind.
