pollinate
Pollinate refers to the process in which pollen is transferred from the male parts of a plant (the anther or male stamen) to the female parts (the stigma) of the same or another plant, allowing fertilization and the production of seeds to occur. This process can be facilitated through various means such as wind, insects, birds, or other animals.
