Best answer

There are hermaphrodite species of animals and plants that present crossfecundation mainly due to the maturation of female and male structures at different periods.

Cross fecundation occurs in planarias, hermaphrodites in which ** fecundation takes place with male and female gametes from different individuals. These individuals approach their copulating structures and exchange gametes.
