Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Later-evolving angiosperms like grasses have reverted to wind pollination. This is because wind pollination is more efficient for plants with small flowers and high numbers of pollen grains. Wind pollination allows for the widespread dispersal of pollen, increasing the chance of successful pollination. Wind-pollinated flowers do not need to produce nectar or attract pollinators, saving the plant energy and resources.
