Want this question answered?
The anther makes the pollen I think, but you might wanna check though.
Insect pollinated is attractive and colourful, the former isn't Besides petal color the insect pollinated flowers also have insect attracting smell where as in wind pollinated flowers the petals are neither attractive nor scented.
Wind-pollinated flowers have many key differences from insect-pollinated ones. Since they don't need to attract insects, wind-pollinated flowers tend to have smaller petals, are odorless, are less colorful, and don't have nectar. Examples are ragweed, corn and wheat.
------> Pollen from a flower can get blow off and land in another flower<------- Double check answer if u wish..... I just used common sense. :)
They will most likely have less because they are not the kind of flower that really sticks out because of certain coloring, so that's also why they can depend on wing more than animals to pollinate.
The pollen grains of wind pollinated plants are generally smooth and light. These are not sticky to avoid clump-sing. These are produced in large numbers to ensure landing some pollen on the feathery or netted stigmas.

Nectar is produced by flowers to attract insects, bats or birds that will help to carry its pollen to other plants (and bring fresh pollen to it). If a plant is pollinated in the wind, then it doesn't need to spend the energy to make nectar.
It is because they they are light so they can be blown easily by the wind
wind pollinated
Pollen can be transferred by the wind or by insects such as bees. Some flowers are also pollinated by animals such as bats and hummingbirds.
Most grasses and many trees are pollinated by the wind. The pollen carrying organs of these types of plant are exposed so that the wind can distribute their pollen, catkins are a typical wind pollinated structure. Insect pollinated plants need to attract insects to their flowers and they generally have petals and are often brightly coloured.

Common examples of anemophilous (wind-pollinated) plants are ragweed, grass, and conifers.(Generally, any pollen that is considered an allergen, comes from an anemophilous plant)
They are not better they are different.
