Part 4/7:
The Role of Pollinators and Nectar
Pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, and birds, play a crucial role in the reproduction of flowering plants. They assist in transferring pollen, and in many cases, plants provide incentives such as nectar—a sugary liquid that attracts these animals. Nectar is secreted from specialized glands called nectaries, located either within the flowers or on other parts of the plant, known as extrafloral nectaries.
