Root Explanation

Pollenizer → It is formed from "pollen" (from Latin *pollen*, meaning fine flour or powder) and "-izer" (a suffix used to indicate a person or thing that performs a specific action). The word "pollenizer" refers to an agent, typically an insect or plant, that facilitates the transfer of pollen for fertilization.

Memory Tip

Think of 'pollen' as the fine powder that helps plants reproduce, and '-izer' indicates someone or something that performs an action — a pollenizer is something that helps in the process of pollination.
