👉 Palynology is a field of study that focuses on the relationships between pollen and other types of plant material, particularly in the context of paleoecology. It aims to understand how past environments influenced the distribution, growth, and development of plants over time. Palynologists study the microfossils (small particles) present in these materials, which can be used as tools for dating fossil deposits and reconstructing past climates. They also study the evolution of plant species through palynological techniques
