Answer:

Many flowers produce nectar, a sugary liquid that many insects eat.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an insect lands on a flower to feed, pollen grains stick to its body. As the insect moves to another flower of the same species, these pollen grains are transferred to the flower's stigma and pollination occurs. It can help even more plants grow.
