What is Anther?

Academic Biology NCERT Class 6

Anther

The anther is an oval-shaped sac located at the upper end of the stamen in which pollen is produced, stored, and later released from the plant.

It can appear from light yellow to dark red so that it can attract pollinators (such as honey-bees and bumblebees) to flowers, and make the reproduction in plants possible.
