A plant's anther is the part of the flower's stamen that produces and stores pollen grains. Pollen grains contain the male reproductive cells of the plant. When a pollinator, such as a bee or butterfly, visits the flower, it collects pollen from the anther. This pollen may then be transferred to the stigma of another flower, allowing for fertilization and the production of seeds. Overall, the anther plays a crucial role in the reproductive process of a plant.
