A pollinator is also referred to as a "vector" or "agent".
This is the method or means whereby pollen is transferred from the anthers of one plant to the stigma of another.
Agents can be living things such as bees, birds, ants, beetles, bats etc.; they can also be nonliving such as wind and water.

∙ 11y agoa pollinator is an animal (or insect) that carries pollen from one flower to another. A pollinator is usually a bee or a butterfly or another species of insect.
plants attract pollinators by having big, brightly coloured petals. Flowers also have stores of nectar, so when the insect goes to collect the nectar, they brush the pollen.

Some plants attract only one type of pollinator describe an advantage and a diadvantage of having only one type of pollinator?
Think of a plant that has bees as its one type of pollinator. The pollen would be taken long distances to other plants of the species and good genetic recombination would ensue from this. Also, a plant spread out like this would have many different micro environments to flourish in and the variations of this plant could do better in one of these environments. The obvious disadvantage would be if your pollinator succumbed to some disease or other local natural disaster.

Is a daffodil a self-pollinator or a cross-pollinator?
NARRATOR: The daffodil is called an entomologists flower because insects transfer the pollen from one flower to another. In their quest for food, insects brush against anthers and stigmas, effectively cross-pollinating the flowers.
How is a lichen different from a plant or animal?
A lichen is not a single organism; it is a stable symbiotic association between a fungus and algae and/or cyan bacteria. Symbiotic means any two life form that can only exist with the two life forms are together. There are many examples of this in the plant world, where a plant only have one pollinator and the pollinator only feeds on that plant. Like all fungi, lichen fungi require carbon as a food source; this is provided by their symbiotic algae and/or cyan bacteria, that are photosynthetic. The lichen symbiosis is thought to be a mutualism, since both the fungi and the photosynthetic partners, called photobionts, benefit.
