Pollen grain is a haploid, unicellular body. It is cuticularised and the cutin is of special type called sporopollenin, which is resistant to chemical and biological decomposition. It can withstand high temperatures as well as strong acids and alkalis. This is why, pollen wall is preserved for long periods in fossil deposits. In addition pollen wall possesses proteins for enzymatic and compatability reactions.
