Solution

The plants obtained from pollen are genetically haploid.

Explanation:

The plants obtained from pollen are genetically haploid because pollen grains themselves contain only one set of chromosomes. Thus, plants grown directly from pollen will have a haploid set of chromosomes, making them genetically haploid rather than diploid or genetically identical clones.
