Petal

Summary: Most wind-pollinated plants, like the one in Figure 4: - have small petals that are brown or green - do not produce nectar - produce large amounts of very Light pollen that is easily carried by the wind - have anthers and stigmas which hang out of the flower. This makes it easier for the plant to release pollen and to catch pollen from other plants. Tags: science student-book-7 biology Created: 2026-05-21 Last Updated: 2026-05-21
