To Which Group of Plants are Insect Pollinators Most Important

Question

To which group of plants are insect pollinators most important?
A) gymnosperms
B) angiosperms
C) mosses
D) ferns

Accepted Answer

Insect pollinators are most important for the angiosperms or flowering plants. This is because the flowers of angiosperms contain specialized reproductive structures, including stamens and pistils, which require pollination in order to produce seeds. Insects such as bees, butterflies, and moths are important pollinators for many types of flowering plants, and without them, these plants would not be able to reproduce successfully.
