Pollen allows plants to reproduce by fertilizing female parts of the flowers.
It's indepentant of water.
The adaptation of pollen and seeds allowed gymnosperm plants to colonize and dominate the land. Pollen increased the efficiency of fertilization by allowing plants to reproduce without the need for water, enabling them to thrive in terrestrial environments. Seeds provided protection and nutrients for the developing embryo, ensuring better survival on land.

Production of pollen sacs instead of pollen grains and of non-toxic nectar and pollen is the milkweed flower's adaptation. The plant in question (Asclepias) offers beneficial insects -- such as bumble bees (Bomba) and Monarch Butterflies (Danaus plexippus) -- nectar which is free of the bitter, off-putting, toxic alkaloids and carotenolids in all other body parts and pollen which easily attaches to feet and mouthparts if the consumer is a pollinator and which traps if not. The five petals and the five pollen sac-filled slits thereby work to feed only those visitors with pollination on their agenda.

Pollen primarily sticks to the bee's legs and body, particularly the fuzzy hairs on their thorax and hind legs. Many bee species have specialized structures called pollen baskets or corbiculae on their hind legs that help collect and transport pollen back to their hive. This adaptation allows bees to efficiently gather pollen while foraging for nectar.
Butterflies with hairy legs pick up more pollen. This adaptation would help a butterfly pollinate more flowers by carrying more pollen.
One adaptation is that the Plant smells like rotting meat to attract flies. Those flies spread the pollen from the flower. This adaptation is physical. Another adaptation would be that it attaches itself to highgrowing plants so it can reach the canopy of the rainforest.

they r important because they give pollen to flowers for bees to make honey
it important for the growth of new plant and fertilization
Flowers and seeds are crucial for plant reproduction, allowing for the dispersal of genetic material and adaptation to diverse environments. The evolution of flowers has facilitated efficient pollination, attracting pollinators to transfer pollen between plants. Seeds provide protection and nutrients for the developing embryo, aiding in successful reproduction and the propagation of plant species.
