Did You Know? In 60 Seconds: Pollination

Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male to the female part of plants, essential for reproduction. It occurs in both flowering plants and gymnosperms like pines and cycads. The video explains two main types of pollination: wind pollination, where pollen is dispersed by the wind, and animal-mediated pollination, where animals like bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and bats transfer pollen between flowers.

Describe the process of wind pollination as explained in the text.
