Anther and Filament of a Stamen

This is a picture of a flower's stamen. The flower's stamen also includes the anther and the filament. The stamen as a whole is known as the male reproductive part of the flower. The anther and filament of the stamen are very important structures of a flower. The stamen is the pollen producing part of the flower and it is made up of the anther and the filament. The filament is the long, stalk-like structure that supports the anther. The anther develops the male gametophyte, or pollen. This part of the flower is crucial because it allows pollen to be made and then used to grow/sustain other flowers.
