Detailed Solution

Wind pollination requires that the pollen grains are light and non-sticky so that they can be transported in wind currents. They often possess well-exposed stamens (so that the pollen is easily dispersed into wind currents) and large often-feathery stigma to easily trap air-borne pollen grains.
