Solution

Flowers of Vallisneria are not colourful and do not produce nectar. Waterlily is pollinated by insect or wind. In water-pollinated species, pollen grains are protected from wetting by a mucilaginous covering. In some hydrophytes such as Vallisneria pollen grains are carried passively by water current.
