What are the Pollinating agents?


Agents that carry out the transfer of the pollen grains are known as pollinating agents. They are broadly divided into two types: abiotic agents and biotic agents.

(i)  What are the Abiotic pollinating agents?

Non-living factors that carry out pollination are called Abiotic pollinating agents. For example, Wind and water.

(ii)  What are the Biotic pollinating agents?

Living organisms that transfer pollen grains are known as Biotic pollinating agents. For example, Honey bees, butterflies, and birds.
