On the stigma.
Germination of the pollen grain typically occurs on the stigma of the carpel (female reproductive organ) in flowering plants. The pollen grain produces a pollen tube through which the male gametes travel to fertilize the ovule.
Tricolpate pollen grain is a type of pollen grain that has three colpi or furrows in its outer surface. It is characteristic of eudicots, one of the two main groups of flowering plants. The presence of three colpi is an important feature used in the classification of flowering plants.
When a pollen grain sticks to a stigma, the process of pollination begins. This event triggers the germination of the pollen grain, leading to the growth of a pollen tube down the style toward the ovary. As the pollen tube grows, it facilitates the transfer of sperm cells to the ovule, ultimately enabling fertilization to occur. This process is essential for the reproduction of flowering plants.
Pollen tube germination is the process by which a pollen grain, upon landing on a compatible stigma, develops a tube that extends down the style toward the ovule in the ovary. This tube carries sperm cells from the pollen grain to fertilize the ovule, leading to seed formation. The germination process involves the hydration of the pollen grain and the growth of the tube, which is guided by chemical signals from the ovule. Successful germination is crucial for plant reproduction.
When a pollen grain joins with an ovum, fertilization occurs, resulting in the formation of a zygote. This zygote then develops into an embryo that eventually grows into a new plant or seed. This process is crucial for the reproduction of flowering plants.

Pollen grains from plants which do not flower are very similar to that of flowering plants, except they are different.

it depends on gymnosperm (naked seed) or angiosperm (flowering plant) this is the angiosperm - Another germination event during the life cycle of gymnosperms and flowering plants is the germination of a pollen grain after pollination. Like seeds, pollen grains are severely dehydrated before being released to facilitate their dispersal from one plant to another. They consist of a protective coat containing several cells (up to 8 in gymnosperms, 2-3 in flowering plants). One of these cells is a tube cell. Once the pollen grain lands on the stigma of a receptive flower (or a female cone in gymnosperms), it takes up water and germinates. Pollen germination is facilitated by hydration on the stigma, as well as the structure and physiology of the stigma and style.[1] Pollen can also be induced to germinate in vitro (in a petri dish or test tube).[3][4] During germination, the tube cell elongates into a pollen tube. In the flower, the pollen tube then grows towards the ovule where it discharges the sperm produced in the pollen grain for fertilization. The germinated pollen grain with its two sperm cells is the mature male microgametophyte of these plants.[1

The pollen tube serves as a bridge between the pollen grain and the egg in flowering plants. Once the pollen grain lands on the stigma, it germinates and forms a pollen tube that grows down through the style towards the ovary, where it delivers the male gametes to the egg for fertilization.
Pollen grains are produced by the male reproductive organs of flowering plants called anthers. Anthers contain pollen sacs where pollen grains develop and mature.
The stigma recieves the pollen grain from the anther. It then travels down the pollen tube inside the style and goes to the ovary.
Flowering plants produce male gametes through a process called meiosis, where cells in the anthers divide to form haploid pollen grains. Each pollen grain contains a male gamete that is necessary for fertilizing the female gametes in the ovules of the flower. This process ensures sexual reproduction and the formation of seeds in flowering plants.
A polln grain after germination sends a pollen tube in the ovule to release male gametes near the egg cell or ovum.
A pollen tube is part of the male gametophyte of seed plants. It acts as a conduit to transport the male gamete cells from the pollen grain, either from the stigma (in flowering plants) to the ovules at the base of the pistil, or directly through ovule tissue in some gymnosperms.
