Style is the long neck of the pistil. Anther cone is a cone of stamens fused together like the head of a rocketship almost. Pollen-grains produce sperm and are transported to female plants for fertilization. Pollination is when the sperm meets the egg and fertilization occurs.

Pollinators are animals that transport pollen grains from one plant to another, usually in exchange for food.
