The male part of a plant that produces pollen is called the anther.

Here's a breakdown:

* Stamen: The entire male reproductive organ of a flower is called the stamen.

* Anther: The anther is the top part of the stamen, where pollen grains are produced.

* Filament: The filament is the stalk that supports the anther.

So, the anther is responsible for creating the pollen, which is essential for plant fertilization.
