Solution(By Examveda Team)

Radish is a cross pollinated crop. It is a modified root.
Radish flowers are pollinated by insects including bees and flies. Pollen must be moved from plant to plant as well as from flower to flower or pods will not form.
All radish varieties can cross with one another and with wild radish R. raphanistrum, but they will not cross with other brassicas.
