Which is the male part of a flower?

The male part of a flower is the stamen. It includes a filament that supports the anther, where pollen is produced—the male gametes. When pollen is transferred to the female part (the pistil) and reaches the ovules in the ovary, fertilization can occur. The pistil is the female component, made up of the stigma, style, and ovary. Petals attract pollinators, and sepals protect the developing bud. So the male structure is the stamen.
