Is anther male or female?

Published in Flower Part 1 min read

The anther is the male part of a flower. It is responsible for producing pollen, which contains the male gametes (sperm).

  • The anther is located at the top of the stamen, which is the stalk that supports it.
  • The anther is typically where pollen grains are produced and released during pollination.

Here's a simple breakdown:

  • Male: Stamen, Anther, Pollen
  • Female: Pistil, Stigma, Style, Ovary

Therefore, the anther is a male part of the flower.
