Here's the Answer
The angiosperm pollen grains comprises of outer exine made up of resistant organic material sporopollenin, while inner thin layer of intine is made up of cellulose and pectin.Since, the outer hard layer of exine is made up of sporopollenin which is one of the most resistant organic substance, it helps the pollen grains to resist high temperatures, strong acids and alkali and it also protects them from enzyme degradation.

Answer:
The exine layer is made up of sporopollenin, which is one of the most resistant substances found in nature. The intine layer is made up of cellulose and pectin materials.
Exine plays an important role in:
- It protects gametophytes in harsh environments and serves as a barrier against various physical and chemical factors and biological pathogens.
- It helps in pollen dispersal and cross-pollination in some species.
- It enables stigma cells to capture the most appropriate pollen grains by providing species-specific factors for pollen-stigma recognition and adhesion.
