This photo of a beautiful flower
clearly shows the anther and filament.
These two structures are considered to be one portion of the reproductive parts
of a flower, meaning that just about every flower will have both of these
parts. The anther is the small black part that rests on top of the filament
(the stalk-like structures circled in the photo). The anther's main purpose is
to produce the pollen, which pollinators come and disperse in order to grow
more of those flowers. The filament serves as a solid structure that supports
the anther. These two parts make up the stamen, which is the male
reproductive structure of a flower.
