pollinate

[verb]

To fertilize (in plants). Plants may be self-pollinating, or may need a pollinator to transfer pollen to the stigma, thus fertilizing the plant. Pollinators include insects, birds, small mammals, and the wind. The type of pollinator needed by a given plant is often very specific.
