Answer:
Pollinating agents are animals such as insects, birds, and bats; water; wind; and even plants themselves, when self-pollination occurs within a closed flower. Pollination often occurs within a species. When pollination occurs between species it can produce hybrid offspring in nature and in plant breeding work.

⟹ Agents of pollination :-
- Pollinating agents are called pollinators.
- Pollinators can be abiotic, i.e. nonliving or biotic, i.e. living.
- Abiotic pollinators are wind and water. Water is usually used only for few aquatic plants like seagrasses.
- Biotic pollinators refer to various animal species (Mammals, Reptiles, Birds, and Insects). Insects are the most common of them. Beetles, Bees, Moths, and birds are examples of biotic pollinating agents.
- Pollination by wind occurs in many grass plants.
- Bats also help in pollination. They are used in few bananas (Musa spp.).
- Pollination by moths is seen in the evening primrose and some tobacco.
