Q. Flowers are always wind-pollinated in the family

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants

Solution:

Pollination is the process of transfer of pollen grain from the anther to the stigma. When this transfer occurs between different flowers, there are agents that help in transferring the pollen grain. These agents can be biotic or abiotic.
Compositae and Brassicaceae are families of subdivision Angiosperm that use insects as agents of pollination. Solanaceae also depends on insects but mostly on honey bees for pollination.
Poaceae family flowers are always pollinated by the wind. Their flowers are anemophilous.
