What is another word for cross pollinated?
Pronunciation: [kɹˈɒs pˈɒlɪnˌe͡ɪtɪd] (IPA) 
Cross pollination is the process by which pollen from one plant is used to fertilize another. This can lead to new, hybrid plants with unique characteristics. There are several synonyms for the term "cross pollinated," including hybridized, crossbred, interbred, and cross-fertilized. Each of these terms refers to the same general process of combining genetic material from different plants, resulting in offspring with traits that may differ from those of their parents. Cross pollination is an important process for plant breeders and geneticists, who use it to create desirable traits in cultivated crops. It also occurs naturally in the wild, where it plays a vital role in maintaining genetic diversity and ecological balance.
