Stamen

The stamen is the male reproductive organ of a flower. It produces pollen. A stamen is made up of an anther and a filament. Plants reproduce sexually. The pollen from the stamen of one flower is transported (sometimes by a bee, sometimes a human, etc) to the pistil of another flower. By this fertilization process, a new plant is produced.
This rose flower has a pistil/stamen.
