Question

what is the function of anther

Answer 1

Stamens: The third whirl, inner to petals, consists of delicate, filament-like structures called the stamens. Each stamen is formed of a long, narrow, hair-like filament and a broad sac-like bilobed anther found at it's tip. The anther consists of the pollen grains (male reproductive cells) which is a powdery material consisting of fine particles.

Answer 2

The male reproductive part of a flower is called the stamen. It is composed of a long tube, called a filament, and has a pollen-producing structure on the end. This oval-shaped structure is called the anther. It is crucial in the reproduction of flowering plants, as it produces the male gamete known as pollen.
Anthers hold the pollen that contain the sperm necessary for reproduction. The long filaments hold the anthers up from the center of the flower to increase the chances that a visiting pollinator will brush against the anthers and collect the pollen. When the pollinator travels to the next plant, the pollen falls from its body onto the female organs of the flower. The pollen then sends sperm into ovary to fertilize the waiting egg. Without the anthers producing the sperm and the pollen, the flower cannot reproduce.
