Some plants cannot self-pollinate due to their genetic structure or reproductive strategies that promote cross-pollination. Many species have evolved mechanisms like dichogamy, where male and female reproductive structures mature at different times, or self-incompatibility, which prevents pollen from fertilizing the ovules of the same plant. These adaptations enhance genetic diversity, which can improve resilience and adaptability to changing environments. Additionally, reliance on pollinators can improve the chances of successful reproduction and seed viability.
