for a flowering plant to reproduce, pollen from the male stamen must be transported to the ovary in the middle of the female flower. a single flower usually produces both parts but reproducing with itself will have poor genetic outcomes, so they need a mediator to bring the pollen to another plant. plants have developed all kinds of different ways to do so but the most common example involves pollinators. the flower's color, scent, and nectar are designed to attract a bug or animal to come into contact with one flower before going to another, unintentionally carrying the pollen along with it. when the bee crawls inside the second plant, the pollen is rubbed off and collected by the second plant to grow a seed. seed dispersal is a fun deep dive for another night
