Detailed Solution

The pollen grains have a two-layered wall, the outer exine and inner intine. The exine is made up of sporopollenin and has germ pores.

Since sporopollenin is resistant to heat and acids ,it protects the pollen from mechanical and chemical damage, leading to better fossilization.
