What else can I help you with?
Are wind pollinated flowers petals small?

Why don't cereals and grasses need a petal or a scent?
Because they are pollinated by wind.
Why do wind pollinated flowers have small petals?
Wind-pollinated flowers typically have small petals because they do not need to attract pollinators, unlike insect-pollinated flowers that often possess large, colorful petals to lure in bees and other insects. The reduced size of the petals helps minimize the flower's overall surface area, making it easier for the wind to transport pollen. Additionally, smaller petals can help protect the reproductive structures from environmental factors while allowing for efficient pollen dispersal.
Flowers that are pollinated by the wind have smaller petals and sepals that are pollinated by insects or animals why are small petals and sepals an advantage to these flowers?
Answer 1: If a bloom has large petals and sepals, it's much harder to pollinate the flower. They would just get in the way. Answer 2: Petals and sepals are used to attract pollinators and give them a place to land. Wind pollinated plants don't need to attract pollinators or provide landing space for them. Thus, there is no use for large sepals and petals. .

Which would most likely need to happen for a new plant to grow?

Why don't wind pollinated flowers are not colourful?
They don't need to be. Color is one method used by insect pollinated plants to attract the insects. Wind pollinated plants such as Grasses and Pine trees don't need to attract pollinators. The male flowers simply release the pollen on to the breeze on a "hit or miss" basis.
Why is corn a cross pollinated crop?
Because when corn self-pollinates over a few generations it becomes an inbred, and loses vigor, size, and overall plant health. So to keep the plants healthy they need to be either hybrids or open-pollinated so that most of the silks get pollinated by a different plant.
This insect helps pollinate flowers?
