Anther: The part of the stamen where pollen is produced. Pistil: The ovule producing part of a flower. The ovary often supports a long style, topped by a stigma.

What are the two functions of anther?

The anthers are mainly involved in producing the pollen grains. The transfer of pollen causes reproduction which leads the plant to develop seeds and produce a new generation of infant plants. However, it does not protect the pollen grains but produces the grains for pollination and fertilisation.

Where is the anther located and what is its function?

Anthers are the main reproductive part of the flower which is responsible for dispersal of male gametes. It is also called a pollen containing unit. It is found in the stamens of angiosperms. It is supported by a filament or stalk which is a thread like structure.
