Pollen looks like a yellow dust. But if you put it under a microscope you can see that it is made of tiny particles called pollen grains.
Pollen grains are made by the male part of the plant called the stamen. There are two parts to a stamen. The stalk and its swollen tip. The pollen grains are made in the swollen tip. When they are ready to be released the tip turns inside out.
