Core concept
Sexual reproduction in plants occurs through pollination (transfer of pollen) and fertilisation, producing seeds that grow into new plants.
How it works
Pollination can occur through wind, insects, birds, or water, transferring pollen from the stamen to the pistil of a flower.
Why it matters
Asexual reproduction doesn't involve seeds, using methods like cuttings (growing new plants from plant parts) or runners (like strawberry plants).
Key detail
Both reproduction methods help plants survive and spread, with each method offering different advantages depending on the plant and environment.
