Answers
Since the water lily and water hyacinth are in the water but their stem part which is above the thalamus is not in the water.
The pollen grains are in the upper part of thalamus so pollination can't done by water.
That's y it is done by insects and wind!
So , option insects and wind is right!!
Pollination in water hyacinth and water lily is brought about by the agency of insects or wind.
Explanation:
1. There occurs a process by which the pollen grains containing the male gamete from the stamen gets transferred to the stigma of the female flower to undergo fertilisation in the ovary of the female flower. This process is named as pollination.
2. This process can take place by means of insects, wind, birds or by bats.
Reason for correct answer:
• The correct answer is insects or wind.
• In plants like water hyacinth and water lily, pollination is brought about by insects or winds.
• Though they grow in water, they are not pollinated by the agency of water. This is because the flowers produced by these plants are not burried under water but emerges above the level of water and hence are pollinated by insects or wind.
• Pollination occuring with the help of insects is called entomophily and by wind is known as anemophily.
Additional Information:
• Pollination that takes place by bats is known as chiropterophily.
• By water is named as hydrophily. Examples: Hydrilla.
• By birds is called ornithophily. Examples: Red coral trees.
