The process by which plants produce offspring (babies) after pollination occurs is called reproduction.
The correct answer is reproduction.
Plants reproduce through a process called pollination, where pollen grains (containing male gametes) are transferred from the male reproductive organs (such as stamens) to the female reproductive organs (such as the pistil). This transfer can happen through various means like wind, water, or animals (such as bees or birds).
After pollination, the pollen grain travels down the pistil and fertilization occurs. Fertilization is the fusion of the male and female gametes, resulting in the formation of a zygote. The zygote develops into an embryo, which eventually grows into a new plant.
Therefore, the pollination process sets the stage for fertilization to happen, and fertilization leads to the production of offspring, thus completing the reproductive cycle of plants.
