Pollination

		Just like making new people, plants need a male (man) and female (woman) to make new seed which will grow into a new plant. The difference with plants is that plants have both the male and the female parts in a single flower. The male part of the flower makes 'pollen." Pollen looks like a powder or dust. The female part of the flower (called the pistil) makes the egg. Pollination is the way "pollen" from the male part of a flower gets to the egg in the female part of a flower to form a seed.
		Pollination is carried out by wind, rain or little creatures called "pollinators."

To make a seed, the pollen has to find its way to a pistil and travel down to reach the egg. The is called "pollination."
