Pollen is a fine powdery substance produced by the male reproductive organs of flowering plants, known as anthers. It consists of microscopic grains that contain the male gametes necessary for plant fertilization. When pollen is transferred to the female reproductive organs of a plant, typically through wind, insects, or other animals, it can lead to the formation of seeds and fruit. Pollen plays a crucial role in the reproduction of many plants and is also a significant food source for various insects, including bees. Additionally, pollen can cause allergic reactions in some individuals, leading to symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and watery eyes, commonly referred to as hay fever.
