Match the two columns: Column A Column B (i) Paddy (a) Ant (ii) Mango (b) Air (iii) Shimul (c) Water (iv) Hydrilla (d) Insects (e) Birds

(i) Paddy- (b) Air- In many plants pollination occurs through wind. Flowers in which pollination occur are known as anemophilous flowers. Paddy, Wheat, Maize. Sugarcane, Palm etc, are anemophilous or wind pollinated flower. (ii) Mang0- (d) Insects- Mango ( Mangifera indica ) flowers are pollinated by various insects such as wasps, ants, flies, butterflies, beetles, and bees. (iii) Shimul- (e) Birds- Madar, Shimul, Kadam, etc. are zoophilous flowers. They possess brightly coloured showy flowers that are pollinated by birds. (iv) Hydrilla - (c) Water- Pollination carried out through water is called hydrophily. Hydrilla is a freshwater plant and hence, pollinated by water. Light wet-resistant pollen grains are present in these plants. Pollen grains are surrounded by mucilaginous covering, hence protected from wetting. Hence, the matches are as follows: Column A Column B (i) Paddy (b) Air (ii) Mango (d) Insects (iii) Shimul (e) Birds (iv) Hydrilla (c) water
