flowers because of their pollen.
When a pollinator visits
a flower, some of the
pollen gets trapped in its
fur or on its beak and gets
transferred to other
plants and this is how we
can get new plants
growing.
Pollinators are very important for the growth of
vegetables, and fruits because if some pollinators did not
exist; food resources would drop: These pollinators include
bees, bats, hummingbirds, butterflies and even wasps and
flies.
Earthworms are not pollinators but they can take the
CO2 from the environment, and then taking it back into the
soil which helps with planting, This is why earthworms are
important for the plants, and for them to grow.
Unfortunately, pollinators are rapidly becoming
endangered.
