Anther and Filament of Stamen

The anther and filament of the stamen is where the pollen is produced and carried until a pollinator comes by and takes the pollen to another flower. The anther is where the pollen is specifically held in the flower, and the filament is a small stem like structure that holds up the anther up higher so that there is a higher chance that a pollinator will come by and some pollen will rub on it so the pollinator can pollinate the next flower it visits or it will be blown away with the wind. The anther can be attached to the filament either at the end or at the center.
