Pollen represents the male reproductive portion of a plant. More specifically, each pollen grain contains two sperm nuclei, which are transferred to the female part of a plant through various means of pollination. Pollen fertilizes the egg, producing a zygote that will eventually become a seed. Pollen producing anthers are a characteristic of angiosperms like the one shown here. In this image, dusty yellow pollen can be seen on the anthers of the wildflower.
