Wheat is normally self pollinated, often pollinating itself before the flower is even opened fully. While wheat is not dependant upon insect pollination, many native plants eaten by wild creatures are. If native plants decrease due to lack of pollination by native insects and honey bees, then wild creatures turn to domestic crops and eat or damage them so badly they are not marketable.

Wheat does reproduce sexually through seeds. They produce pollen in their stamens which fertilize the pistils to produce seeds. In a lot of plants pollen fills a similar role to semen in human males. Most plants have male and female parts, often on the same plant.

Wheat plant reproduces through its grains (seeds). Vegetative reproduction is uncommon in this cultivated grass.
