Answer 1

In water hyacinth and water lily, pollination takes place by insects or wind.

Explanation:

The flowers of water hyacinth, or Eichhornia, are purple in colour, beautiful, and carried on a spike to aid insect pollination. The Nymphea species of water lilies feature noticeable, alluring blossoms that encourage insect pollination, while some species also generate a lot of pollen grains that encourage anemophily or wind pollination.
