Hydrophily refers to the process by which pollen grains are transported from one plant to another by water. Unlike pollination methods involving insects, birds, or wind, hydrophily relies on water currents to carry pollen grains to the female reproductive organs of aquatic plants. This adaptation is crucial for plants that live in or near water bodies where other pollinators might be less effective.
