Answer
→Plants use two abiotic (wind and water) and one biotic (animals) agent to achieve pollination. →Majority of plants use biotic agents for pollination. Only a small proportion of plants use abiotic agents. →Pollen grains coming in contact with the stigma is a chance factor in both wind and water pollination. →To compensate for these uncertainties and associated loss of pollen grains, the flowers produce enormous amount of pollen when compared to the number of ovules available for pollination.
