Pollen grains are the haploid male gametes of flowering plants.
Many are adapted to be dispersed by wind or insect so that cross-pollination can occur.
They have a tough outer coating called extine. The appearance of the extine is often used to identify the species of plant which produced the pollen.
Pollen grains can be preserved in peat bogs for thousands of years, so by looking at the grains in peat samples you can tell which plants were around at the time.
