Pollination when the pollen is taken from one plant to another by wind, water,insect or self pollinated. Then fertilization when the pollen is transferred from the male part of the flower to the female part(the ovule) which grows the seed and then germination the actual growth of the seed-germination needs moisture, warmth and oxygen.

First, pollination. That is when the pollen lands on the female stigma.
Second, fertilization, when the sperm tube grows and the sperm reaches the the ovules inside the ovary. This is when seeds are developed.
Third, germination. This takes place much later, after the seeds are made inside the ovary. The seeds are released, land on the ground and then germinate. This is when they start growing into a new plant.
No. The process of the joining of male and female reproductive cells is fertilization. The word is often misapplied to pollination which is a preliminary to fertilization in plants. The two are often confused.
Fertilization.
When pollen lands on an egg, it is the beginning of the fertilization process. Pollination is the process of moving pollen from the male part of a flower to the female part, while fertilization occurs when the sperm from the pollen reaches and fertilizes the egg.
I think that there are two processes: Pollination and Fertilization Pollination is when the pollen grains meet on the stigma (female reproductive organ) of another flower. Fertilization is when the pollen actually meets the egg in the ovary. (Sperm joins with egg)
cross fertilization
