There are basically two types of pollination- Biotic and Abiotic.

Biotic Pollination is through the insects, some birds and animals, etc. Some examples could be like moths, bats, hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and on and on.

Abiotic Pollination is when the pollen sacks are transferred to any other flower through abiotic factors, like wind, water, etc. Around 80% of all plant pollination is done biotically and the remaining 20% is done abiotically. Out of the remaining 20%, about 98% is done through the medium of wind, and the rest 2% is done by water.

The different agents of pollination are :

  • wind
  • water
  • insects
  • mammals
  • birds
