What is another word for wind pollination?
Pronunciation: [wˈɪnd pˌɒlɪnˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Wind pollination is also known as anemophily. Anemophily occurs when pollen grains are wind-borne and are transferred through the air to reach female reproductive structures. Other synonyms for wind pollination include anemogamy, as the word "gamy" refers to sexual reproduction, and anemochory, which specifically refers to seed dispersal by wind. In contrast, pollination by insects is known as entomophily, while pollination by birds is known as ornithophily, and pollination by bats is known as chiropterophily. Plant species that rely on wind pollination typically produce large amounts of pollen, as the majority of the pollen is lost due to the unpredictability of wind patterns.
