anthers
Pollen-producing stamen parts
Anthers are the pollen-bearing parts of a flower, typically found at the tips of the slender stalks called filaments.
Together, the anther and filament form the stamen—the male reproductive organ of flowering plants.
When mature, anthers split open to release pollen: The bee's legs brushed against the anthers, picking up yellow dust.
