Pollinators are essential for the reproduction of angiosperms, as they help to transfer pollen from the male anthers of one flower to the female stigma of another flower. This process is known as pollination, and it is necessary for the fertilization of the ovules and the production of seeds. Pollinators eat nectar from the flowers and pick up and drop pollen as they move between flowers, thus helping to disperse the plant's seeds.
