Best Answer

All plants have both a male part - the stamen - and a female part - the pistil. Therefore, all plants are able to take pollen from the stamen - which contains sperm - and use it to pollinate the eggs which are stored in part of the pistil. When the plant uses its own sperm to pollinate its own eggs, this is known as self pollination. However, suppose a bee or an insect lands on a flower and gets pollen on its feet. Then suppose that it lands on another flower. The pollen from the first flower will pollinate the eggs of the second flower. This is known as cross pollination, which the eggs of one plants are pollinated by pollen from a different plant.
