Pollen grains are present in Gymnosperms and Angiosperms whereas they are absent in other land plants.
In Bryophytes antherzoids are the male gametes which help in sexual reproduction.The antherzoids are released into water where they come into contact with archegonium,the female sex organ.Similar is in the case of Pteridophytes.
