Why doesn't grass flowers have petals?
Grass flowers are wind-pollinated, so they do not need showy petals to attract pollinators like bees or butterflies. Instead, they produce abundant pollen that is carried by the wind to fertilize other grass flowers. Petals are not necessary for wind pollination, so grass flowers have evolved to prioritize producing large amounts of lightweight pollen instead.
Why do wind pollenated flowers not make nectar or have bright colours and strong scent?
They don't need to attract animals to their flowers. Flowers that are colorful and have a strong scent attract animal pollenators, such as insects and birds.
Why do wind pollinated flowers have small petals?
Wind-pollinated flowers typically have small petals because they do not need to attract pollinators, unlike insect-pollinated flowers that often possess large, colorful petals to lure in bees and other insects. The reduced size of the petals helps minimize the flower's overall surface area, making it easier for the wind to transport pollen. Additionally, smaller petals can help protect the reproductive structures from environmental factors while allowing for efficient pollen dispersal.
Why don't wind pollinated flowers are not colourful?
They don't need to be. Color is one method used by insect pollinated plants to attract the insects. Wind pollinated plants such as Grasses and Pine trees don't need to attract pollinators. The male flowers simply release the pollen on to the breeze on a "hit or miss" basis.

Flowers that are pollinated by the wind have smaller petals and sepals that are pollinated by insects or animals why are small petals and sepals an advantage to these flowers?
Answer 1: If a bloom has large petals and sepals, it's much harder to pollinate the flower. They would just get in the way. Answer 2: Petals and sepals are used to attract pollinators and give them a place to land. Wind pollinated plants don't need to attract pollinators or provide landing space for them. Thus, there is no use for large sepals and petals. .
