Vedclass · Answer

(B) In plants,biotic agents like insects,birds,and bats are attracted to flowers by specific features such as bright colors,fragrance,and nectar (rewards). This process is known as entomophily or biotic pollination. Wind (anemophily) and water (hydrophily) pollinated flowers do not require such attractants or rewards as they rely on physical forces for pollen transfer. Cleistogamous flowers are closed and do not require pollinators at all. Therefore,attractants and rewards are essential for insect pollination.
