The transfer of plant pollen from the male to the female reproductive structure
Real World Example
Imagine trying to deliver a letter to a friend across town without using any direct communication tools. Just as you might rely on the postal service or a helpful neighbor to ensure your message reaches its destination, plants depend on external agents like bees, wind, or other animals to move pollen from the male parts to the female parts of their flowers. In this way, the postal service or helpful neighbor is like the bee or wind, acting as the courier that ensures the crucial message — in this case, the pollen — successfully reaches where it needs to go for the plant to reproduce.
