What part of the flower supports the anther?

SouravAugust 27, 2024

Answer

The part of the flower that supports the anther is the filament. The filament is a slender, stalk-like structure that attaches the anther to the rest of the flower. It holds the anther in an elevated position, ensuring that it is accessible for pollen dispersal to pollinators or the environment.

Additionally, the receptacle, which is the thickened part of the flower stalk, provides a base to which the filament and, consequently, the anther are connected. This overall floral structure contributes to the stability and support of the anther.
