hey buddy,
sporopollenin is a highly highly resistant (aka inert ) organic material (bio polymer) .
(polymer is nothing but a compound made of large number of similar units bonded together)
it is a notable component of the tough outer walls of plant spores and pollen grains.
it can stand extreme cases like high temperatures and acids and desication .
this property makes the pollens durable and well protected / preserved .

- Sporopollenin is one of the most chemically inert biological polymers.
- It is a major component of the tough outer (exine) walls of plant spores and pollen grains.
- It is chemically very stable and is usually well preserved in soils and sediments.
