Answer 2

Answer:

When the pollination occurs through wind it is called as Anemophily.

Explanation:

Anemophily is a type of pollination whereby dust is dispersed by wind. Anemophilous plants might be either gymnosperms (non-blossoming) or angiosperms (bloom creating). As the pollinating agent in this case it is wind, it is also called as wind pollination.

As male and female reproductive organ are found in different flower, the pollen from male flowers gets transferred to the female flower through wind.
