To control the crossing of the traits.
Because his experiments were aimed at what happened when you cross pollinated the plants with different characteristics. Self-pollination would have meant that his experiments would not have worked.
Mendel removed the reproductive organs (anthers) of the plants to prevent self-fertilization and control the breeding process, ensuring that he could control which plants were cross-fertilized.
Mendel removed the anthers from the pea plants to prevent self-pollination, as he wanted to control the pollen used for cross-pollination. By removing the anthers, he could ensure that only the desired pollen was used to fertilize the pistil of the plant. This allowed Mendel to accurately study the inheritance patterns of specific traits in his experiments.
In his first set of experiments, Mendel crossed purebred pea plants with different traits, such as tall and short plants. He observed the inheritance patterns in the offspring of these crosses over several generations. Mendel showed that traits are inherited independently and proposed the laws of segregation and independent assortment.
The genetic experiments Mendel did with pea plants took him eight years (1856-1863) and he published his results in 1865. During this time, Mendel grew over 10,000 pea plants, keeping track of progeny number and type.
Gregor Mendel, who is known as the "father of modern genetics".He was an Austrian scientist and Augustinian friar who gained posthumous fame as the founder of the new science of genetics. Mendel demonstrated that the inheritance of certain traitsin pea plants follows particular patterns, now referred to as the laws of Mendelian inheritance. Although the significance of Mendel's work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th century, the independent rediscovery of these laws formed the foundation of the modern science of genetics.

Gregor Mendel worked with pea plants.
Mendel use sweet pea (Pisum sativum).
Gregor Mendel prevented self-fertilization in his pea plants by removing the stamens (male reproductive organs) from the flowers before they matured, thus preventing the plants from self-pollinating. This allowed him to control the pollination process and ensure that only desired crosses were made between different plants.
