How do plants reproduce sexually?

Plants reproduce sexually through the process of pollination, where pollen from the male part of a flower (the anther) is transferred to the female part (the stigma). This transfer can occur through various means, such as wind, water, or animal pollinators like bees and birds. Once the pollen reaches the stigma, it fertilizes the ovule, leading to the formation of seeds. The fertilized ovules develop into seeds, which can be dispersed by wind, animals, or water to grow into new plants, ensuring genetic diversity within a species.
