Flowers are structures on a type of plants called angiosperms, which usually exploit a strategy involving a flower, called biotic pollination which requires another organism (vector) typically, although not always, an insect. By contrast, abiotic pollinators like grasses and conifers would use other means like wind or rarely water to effect pollination. Biotic non-insect pollinators may rely on birds or bats for transport, but the great majority of pollen vectors are insects.

Insect-pollinated flowers can also be pollinated by wind why?

Insect-pollinated flowers may still be pollinated by wind as a backup method to ensure successful pollination in case insect activity is limited. Wind can help transfer pollen between flowers when insects are scarce or when weather conditions are unfavorable for insect pollination. This redundancy increases the chances of successful pollination and seed production for the plant.
