Step-by-step solution
A. Corn cob: The tassels seen in corn cobs are the stigma and style which wave in the wind to trap airborne pollen grains, an adaptation for wind pollination. B. Vallisneria: It is a submerged aquatic plant where the female flower reaches the surface of water by a long stalk, and pollination occurs at the water surface. C. Amorphophallus: It is an insect-pollinated plant where the floral reward is providing a safe place to lay eggs within its tall flower. D. Yucca: It has an obligate symbiotic relationship with a s
