Pollen

A usually yellow, powdery substance that is let out or discharged from the male part of a flower. The anthers of a flower are sticky in order to obtain the pollen. The photo of the flower represents where pollen exists and plays its main role: plant reproduction. Not only is pollen an important part of plant reproduction, but it is also a source of annoyance for many people with allergies. In the picture, the anthers can be seen where the pollen attaches itself to in the very center of the flower.
