Components of Androecium
Asked by Rukhsar Ahmedullah · 2 years ago
What are the different components of the androecium and their functions?
1 Answer
The androecium consists of multiple stamens, and each stamen has two main parts:
- Anther: The anther is the part of the stamen that produces pollen grains. It contains pollen sacs where meiosis occurs to form these grains.
- Filament: The filament is a slender stalk that supports the anther and positions it in a way that facilitates the transfer of pollen to visiting pollinators or directly to the stigma.
Together, these components ensure the production and delivery of pollen for the process of fertilization.
