No, wind-pollinated flowers do not typically have large, showy flowers. Instead, they often have small, inconspicuous flowers that produce a lot of pollen to be carried by the wind to nearby flowers for pollination.
Flowers are brightly colored to attract other insects and animals. This is a mode of pollination through agents like insects and animals. When the insects come in contact of the flower, the pollen grains stick to their feet and are transferred to another plant.
Pollination occurs when the pollens from the anther of a flower is transferred to the stigma of the same or another flower. This is of two types- Self-Pollination(when the pollens from the anther of a flower are transferred to the stigma of the same flower or plant) and Cross-Pollination( when it gets transferred to the stigma of flower on another plant). Pollination is brought about by the help of various factors like insects, birds,wind, water.
Pollination in flowering plants is essential for reproduction, as it facilitates the transfer of pollen from the male anthers to the female stigma. This process is crucial for fertilization, leading to seed and fruit development. Pollination can occur through various agents, including wind, water, and animals, particularly insects, which are attracted to flowers for nectar and inadvertently carry pollen between plants. This not only ensures genetic diversity among plant populations but also supports ecosystems and food production.
A flower is pollinated when a bee drinks it's nectar. The bee will have pollen (a dust like substance) trapped on the hairs of it's legs from other flowers. Pollen from the flower gets trapped on the bee, and pollen trapped on the bee's legs get in the flower. This is how a flower is pollinated.
Maize is primarily wind-pollinated, as the male flowers (tassels) release pollen that is carried by the wind to the female flowers (silks) for fertilization. Insects can also play a role in maize pollination, but wind is the dominant method.

By specialized insects
self-pollination
Before fruit is pollinated they are just flowers, so they get pollinated by bee's or other insects, the wind, or sometimes by humans who want to help their fruit grow.
Self-pollination could take place in many different flowers like a pea flower or a daisy. ect...

The devices by which pollination will take place
Flowers are brightly colored to attract other insects and animals. This is a mode of pollination through agents like insects and animals. When the insects come in contact of the flower, the pollen grains stick to their feet and are transferred to another plant.
Most pollination takes place with the help of insects and wind. The purpose of pollination is to transmit the pollen from one plant to the stigma of another plant.
