2. Anther and Filament of Stamen


This is a picture of a flower. The filament of this flower is the long, thin structure that connects to the center base of the flower. The anther is the small ball-like structure on the end of the filament. Together, the anther and filament is called a stamen. These are the male reproductive parts of a flower. The filament also contains sacs that produce pollen.
