Detailed explanation-1: -Stamens are the male reproductive parts of a flower which comprises of anther and filaments. Filaments are the long stalks of stamen on top of which the anthers are held.
Detailed explanation-2: -Filament. The thin stalk that supports the anther in the male portion of the flower.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -The stamen is made up of two parts: the anther and filament. 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: -In all but a few extant angiosperms, the stamen consists of a long slender stalk, the filament, with a two-lobed anther at the tip. The anther consists of four saclike structures (microsporangia) that produce pollen for pollination.
