Solution

Pollen grains fertilize the egg cell present in the embryo sac of an ovule. Pollen grains represent the male portion of the reproductive process in plants and trees. These tiny bodies keep swirling in the air and on the legs of insects so that they can join the female part of the plant to create a new seed. This important process is known as fertilization.
