Pollen Grains

Pollen Grain is a microscopic, typically spherical to ovoid, biologically inert particle produced by the male reproductive organs of seed plants, specifically distinguished in terrestrial palynology by its resistant sporopollenin wall and function in conveying the male gametes for fertilization, thereby serving as a primary data source in fossil pollen analysis for reconstructing past vegetation and climate.
