Stamen. The stamen is the male part of a flower â the reproductive organ that produces the sticky powder known as pollen. The stamen is made up of a filament that holds the anther.The filament is a thin stalk. An anther sits on the tip of each filament and contains the pollen, which is the plantâs male reproductive cell.ross-pollination is better than self-pollination because it produces stronger plants. However, the pollen from a different species plant will not work. Once ovules in a plant are fertilized with pollen, the ovules develop into fruit. The fruit covers the seeds, which eventually become new plants.
