Detailed explanation-1: -Stamen: The pollen producing part of a flower, usually with a slender filament supporting the anther. Anther: The part of the stamen where pollen is produced.

Detailed explanation-2: -The male part of flowering plants is the stamen. This consists of an anther supported by a single stalk, the filament. The anther usually contains four pollen sacs which are responsible for producing pollen grains.

Detailed explanation-3: -Filament. The thin stalk that supports the anther in the male portion of the flower. Gametes. The sex cells of a flower, both male and female.

Detailed explanation-4: -The anther produces pollen (male reproductive cells). The filament holds the anther up. During the process of fertilization, pollen lands on the stigma, a tube grows down the style and enters the ovary.

Detailed explanation-5: -The filament is a long stalk-like structure which supports the anther. The anther is a two-lobed structure which contains microsporangia for the production of pollen grains. Small nectaries are found at the base of stamens which provide food for insect and bird pollinators.
