Anther and Filament of a Stamen


The stamen is the male reproductive part of a a flower which consists of two parts called the anther and the filament. This  specific flower's anther is the curved, pollen covered tip on top of the slender stalk, which is the filament. The anther's function is to produce pollen to be used during reproduction. The job of the filament is to attach to the center of the flower and ensure that the anther is exposed to both the pistil and pollinators.
