Emma Wilkerson · Answer 1

The coevolution of flowering plants and their animal pollinators presents one of nature's most striking examples of adaption and specialization ... Our understanding is that each species evolves to its own benefit; in coevolution, these two self-interests collide, and remarkable things happen.

Answer:Plants and their pollinators form a mutualistic relationship, a relationship in which each benefits from the other. In the plant-pollinator relationship, the pollinator benefits by feeding on food rewards provided by the flower, primarily nectar and pollen.
