Palynology
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What Is Palynology? Palynology is the study of plant pollen, spores and certain microscopic plankton organisms (collectively termed palynomorphs) in both living and fossil form.

Detailed explanation-2: -Palynology is the study of the reproductive grains and spores of plants, called pollen. Pollen is specific to each type of plant and the grains themselves are very resistant to damage. The mixture of various pollens and spores characterizes a pollen batch, which has the ability to infer an environmental area.

Detailed explanation-3: -Palynology is the science of pollen grains. Pollen grains are minute structures with a variety of sizes and shapes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Spores are part of the life cycle of mosses, ferns, algae, fungi, and protozoa, and can be classified based on their origin, dispersal/mobility, function, and morphology. Two moss sporangia. The sporangia produce, contain and will later release the spores out of which a new moss plant will grow.

Detailed explanation-5: -Palynology, or the study of pollen, is used to reconstruct ancient environments and document environmental changes that had significant impacts on past human societies.
