Orchidaceae Asclepiadaceae
Pollinia are clusters of pollen grains that are often found in certain flowering plants, particularly orchids. These structures facilitate the transfer of pollen during pollination, helping ensure fertilization. When an insect visits a flower, it may inadvertently pick up pollinia and carry them to another flower, thereby aiding in the plant's reproductive process. Pollinia can be quite sticky, allowing them to adhere to the pollinator more effectively.
Flowering plants require pollinatio non-flowering plants do not.

it is about the plants that always flowers
it leads to the creation of new seeds that grow into two plants
Nonflowering plants depend on wind and water to scatter their spores or seeds.
This is an example of coevolution, where two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution. In this case, the flowering plants and insects have evolved traits that benefit each other, such as the plants producing nectar for the insects in exchange for pollination services.
their is a lot of difference. they are the steps of asexual reproduction.
Pollination is required for flowering plants to reproduce. This is due to the pollen acting as the sperm for the plant, and the pollen has to enter the ovum of the plant to create the seeds.
Insects are needed to pollinate many plants. Without pollination, fruit and seeds are not produced.
Pollination only occurs in flowering plants. It is part of the process of sexual reproduction. The pollen grain contains the male gamete.
Flowering plants produce pollen grains, which are equivalent to spores in non-flowering plants. These pollen grains are responsible for plant reproduction through the process of pollination, where they are transferred to the female reproductive organs of the flower for fertilization.
