Best Answer
Anther

The anther is the part of the flower that holds the pollen. This and the filament both make up the stamen.

anther generally has four pollen sacs in a dithecous anther and in a monothecous anther like that of hibiscus there are 2 pollen sacs and each pollen sacs hold a microsporangium which produces pollen grains that how anther plays a main role in the development of pollen grains

The anthers are a part of the male reproductive system of a plant. They are the pollen bearing sacks at the end of the stamen and their purpose is to store the pollen (the male gametes or sex cells) and to release it when mature in order for the plant to pollinate other flowers and therefore reproduce. Male sex cells are haploid and have half the genetic material of the adult plant
