Kids Learning → Insects → Pollination → What is Pollination

Overview

Pollination is the process that helps plants make seeds. It happens when pollen from a flower's male part moves to the female part of the same or another flower. Bees, butterflies, and other insects help with this by carrying pollen on their bodies as they visit flowers for nectar. Pollination is important because it helps plants grow fruits and seeds, which are essential for food and new plants.
