Flower Structure and Function
- The anther, a part of the stamen, is responsible for producing pollen.
Stamen Function
- The stamen, composed of the anther and filament, produces and holds pollen for fertilization.
Pistil Function
- The pistil, consisting of the stigma, style, and ovary, contains the ovules where fertilization takes place.
Sepal Function
- The sepal, a leaf-like structure, provides support and protection for the developing flower bud.

- The stigma, part of the pistil, receives pollen during fertilization.
Fruit Development
- The ovary, part of the pistil, develops into a fruit after fertilization.
