pollinizes
Enables plant reproduction
Pollinizes is the third-person singular of pollinate—to transfer pollen to a plant, enabling fertilization and seed production.
Bees, butterflies, and wind pollinize flowers; some plants self-pollinize.
The orchard depends on honeybees that pollinize the apple blossoms.
The spelling pollinate is more common than pollinize, but both are standard.
