Siitepölyttäjä
Siitepölyttäjä, a Finnish term, refers to a pollinator, an agent that moves pollen from one flower to another. This movement is crucial for the fertilization of plants, leading to the production of seeds and fruits. The most common siitepölyttäjät are insects, with bees being particularly well-known for their role. Other insect pollinators include butterflies, moths, flies, and beetles.
Beyond insects, wind is another significant siitepölyttäjä, especially for plants with small, inconspicuous flowers like grasses
The process of pollination involves the transfer of pollen grains, which contain the male reproductive cells
