Pollinating agents are animals such as insects, birds, and bats; water; wind; and even plants themselves, when self-pollination occurs within a closed flower.
Fertilization
The act or process of initiating biological reproduction by insemination or pollination.

Fertilization
The union of male and female gametes to form a zygote.
