No, fertilization in plants typically occurs after pollination. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male reproductive organ to the female reproductive organ of the same or a different plant, leading to the eventual fertilization of the ovule. Therefore, pollination is a necessary step for fertilization to occur in most plants.
i dont think this question is appropriate for the answer
The key step was the development of seeds, allowing plants to reproduce without water for fertilization. This adaptation enabled seed plants to thrive in drier environments by protecting and nourishing the plant embryo.

Pollination
When male and female gametes unite to form the zygote, it is called fertilization. In flowering plants it is followed by pollination and pollen germination.
Fertilization in seed plants involves the union of a sperm cell and an egg cell within a seed structure, leading to the formation of a zygote within a seed. In seedless plants, fertilization involves the union of sperm and egg cells, resulting in the formation of a zygote that develops directly into a new organism without seed formation.
Pollination: Pollen grains from the male anther are transferred to the female stigma. Germination: The pollen grain grows a pollen tube to reach the ovule in the ovary. Fertilization: Once the pollen tube reaches the ovule, the sperm cells are released and fertilize the egg cell. Seed formation: The fertilized egg cell develops into a seed, which contains the embryo of the new plant.
