If you read about fungi you must have heard that they have pollen no Yaar!!
they have spores.,,,,The spores are found in smaller organisms.They are part of life cycle of algae,fungi,protozoans and plants...Remeber spores are usually Haploid and are produced by meiosis..
On the other hand...........
Pollen grains are vehicles on which male gametes are sitting or you can say they are like strong bikes having male gametes on them.Sporopollenin a substance found in exine (outer wall of pollen grains) is very strong.
So the main difference is-
Polllens are created by flowers and higher plants while spores are created by lower entities remember algae,fungi etc.
