When you trying to explain how seeds aren't analogs of eggs, and how pollen isn't even analog of sperm

[โ€“] ryannathans@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

Pollen is often described in everyday language as plant sperm, but this is not accurate! Pollen is not sperm (a gamete); pollen is the male gametophyte: a multicellular, haploid organism that produces the sperm.

Pollen is the balls! We're inhaling plant balls
