Answer:
It is one of the most chemically inert biological polymer. It is major component of the tough outer ( exine) of the plant spore and pollen grains. It is chemically very stable and is usually well preserved in soil and sediments.
The exine layer is often intricately sculptured in species-specific patterns( see image at right )allowing material recovered from( for example )lake sediments to provide useful information to palynologists about plants and fungal populations in the past.
