What "pollination" means in gardening

Pollination is the process of transferring pollen from the male part of a flower (anther) to the female part of a flower (stigma) in order to fertilize the ovules and produce seeds. This can occur through the action of insects, wind, or other means, and is essential for the reproduction of many plants. Proper pollination can lead to improved fruit set, higher yields, and better quality fruits and vegetables.
