Bees, birds, bats, butterflies and other animals assist in plant sexually reproduction.
Sexual propagation in plants occurs when pollen from the male flower (or flower part) unites with the egg in the female flower (or flower part). Once the egg is fertilized by the pollen, a seed (or embryo) is produced. The seed is made up of three parts: the outer seed coat, which protects the seed; the endosperm, which provides food and nutrients to the embryo, and the embryo itself.
