Concept: The phenomenon in which wind is used for the transfer of pollen from one flower to the other is called anemophily. In anemophily, wind is the abiotic component for fertilization. This can be more common among abiotic pollinations. 

The dust grains are light and non-sticky, so that they can effortlessly be carried. The flowers have well-exposed stamens, so that the pollen is effectively transferred with the help of wind streams. Anemophilous blossoms have huge, pad shape to effortlessly trap the pollen. Anemophily is very common in grasses, maize, wheat, sugarcane, bamboo, etc.
