Pollen in a flower is primarily stored in the anthers, which are part of the flower’s male reproductive organ called the stamen. The stamen usually consists of two parts: the filament and the anther. The filament is a stalk that holds up the anther, while the anther is where pollen grains are produced and stored.
During the process of pollination, the anther releases the pollen, which can then be transferred to the stigma of another flower, allowing for fertilization to occur. The specifically structured anther ensures that pollen is stored safely and released at the right time for effective reproduction.
