Pollen is usually species specific otherwise it would not be possible to classify plants. There are very few instances where pollen will fertilize different species from itself.

Why does pollen have spikes?

The reason why some pollen grains have spikes is because of the plant species. It also may be because of where the plant was adapted. Pollen grains have spikes also simply due to the location where the species is found. It is located in the coastal species where pollen grains have a different pollen shape to help with things such as salt resistant while a species found inland will be more heat resistant. It really just depends on the type of environment in which the plant has adapted. By Lyn Le
