Because its a sperm

Pollen is the male reproductive structure of seed plants. It contains the sperm cells necessary for fertilization. When pollen is transferred from the male reproductive structure to the female reproductive structure (such as by wind or pollinators), it can reach the ovule without the need for water, allowing for fertilization and seed formation to occur.

How does the water chestnut plant reproduce?
underground stems
What is the difference between pollen and pollen grain?
Microscopic differences in shape and size.
What are the methods of pollination?
There are two different kinds of pollination. The two main kinds are self pollination e.g pollen from plant A lands on the stigma of plant A and pollinates the ovules of plant A and cross pollination e.g. pollen from pant A lands on the stigma of plant B and pollinates the ovules of plant B
What is advantages of a plant producing so much pollen?
Pollen protects the gametes from environmental dangers and allows the gametes to travel without water. This in turn allows the gametes to travel longer distances and to more diverse environments
What structure allows a plant to reproduce without a water supply?
Cuticle.

Why does pollination happen?
Pollination is required for flowering plants to reproduce. This is due to the pollen acting as the sperm for the plant, and the pollen has to enter the ovum of the plant to create the seeds.
How are roots and leaves connected?
They are all connected because the roots bring in water, the stem carries the water to the flower and leaves, and the leaves bring in CO2 + O2. They all help the plant reproduce, and this is important because without roots, stems, and leaves, the plant couldn't reproduce.

How do plants reproduce water?

describe 4 characteristics of the plant kingdom?
plants obtain water from soil so they can eat, they have transport tubes through their stems to transfer chemicals, they retain water with a waxy cuticle layer, they support their bodies with cell walls, they reproduce with pollen and seeds or spores.
What allows a plant to reproduce without a water supply?
many desert plants like the barrel cactus , supply water with its leaves, specific "barrel" shape, etc which will let it thrive on its water that it stored
