When a plant self-pollinates, pollen from its own flowers fertilizes its ovules, leading to the production of seeds without the need for pollen from another plant. This process can result in the formation of genetically similar offspring, as there is less genetic diversity compared to cross-pollination. Self-pollination is common in species that have evolved to maximize reproductive success in stable environments, but it can limit adaptability to changing conditions. Overall, self-pollination can ensure reproduction even in the absence of pollinators or other plants.
