What is pollination by wind called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Anemophily
Pollination carried out by wind is called anemophily. Wind-pollinated flowers commonly produce abundant, light, and dry pollen that can travel on air currents; their stigmas may be exposed or feathery to trap pollen. Hydrophily uses water, entomophily uses insects, and ornithophily uses birds, so those options describe different agents.
