pollengrains.

'b' is tapetum.They nourishes the developing pollen grains.

Answer 2

Answer:

a is sporogenous tissue and b is tapetum

Explanation:

Sporogenous tissue will undergo meiosis and produce pollen grains. Diploid tissue is formed when the primary sporangenous layer further divides. This is also known as sporangenous tissue. When the cells of this tissue disintegrate further, a single layer of tapetum formation occurs. Tapetum helps to nourish the development of pollen grains.
