Pollination is when plants pass their seeds from one place to another so they can grow new friends.
Imagine you're playing with your best friend in the park. You have a bag of marbles, and you want to share them. So you toss some marbles to your friend. That’s like how pollination works, one plant gives its seeds to another plant, so it can make more plants.
How Plants Share Their Seeds
Some plants use wind, like when you blow a pile of leaves around the yard. The wind carries tiny pollen (like little dust) from one flower to another. It’s like blowing marbles across the park!
Other plants need help from insects, like bees or butterflies. They land on flowers, collect pollen, and then fly off to another flower. It's like when you pick up a marble, walk over to your friend, and give them one.
Sometimes, people even help by planting seeds in new places, just like you might plant marbles in different spots to play with more friends later!
Examples
