Yes, it is the plant version of the male reproductive cells. That is where the phrase "birds and bees" came from and how it connects to human reproduction. The birds and bees carry the pollen to the pistils of other plants. Plants cannot get up and walk over to a partner and mate them, so birds, bees, and wind carry the pollen to other plants.

Yes, pollen grains have a hard coat that protects the sperm cells during the process of their movement from the stamens to the pistil of flowering plants or from the male cone to the female cone of coniferous plants.
