How does barley reproduce?

Barley reproduces sexually through a process called pollination, where pollen from the male anthers of the flower fertilizes the ovules in the female ovary. The flowers of barley are typically self-pollinating, but they can also cross-pollinate with nearby plants. After fertilization, the ovule develops into a seed, which contains the genetic material from both parent plants. The seeds are then dispersed, allowing for new plants to grow in suitable environments.
