Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -These tissues are composed of microsporocytes, which are diploid cells capable of undergoing meiosis to form a tetrad (four joined cells) of haploid microspores.
Detailed explanation-2: -Microspore mother cells undergo meiosis and form four microspores; these four microspores are called microspore tetrad. And each microspore is haploid, hence the ploidy of microspore tetrad is haploid.
