Stamen

The stamen of a flower is the male reproductive part of a flowering plant (also known as an angiosperm). Angiosperms need a male and female cell in order to produce a fruit or seed. Through a process of cellular division, stamen create a granular substance called pollen and display it on its outermost region or the anther. The pollen grains house the male gamete. From the anther, wind or pollinators, like birds, bees, bats, butterflies and insects, can carry pollen to the female reproductive part of a plant, or the pistil. When pollen reaches the outermost region of the female reproductive part, the stigma, it goes through a process of bringing it inside and down to the flower's ovules to produce seeds. Stamen are vital in seed propagation and the life cycle of angiosperms.
