Define: anther
The male reproductive structure of a plant. The anther is at the end of the filament and contains the pollen sacs, where pollen grains, the male gametophytes, are produced.
2 of 5
Define: phloem
The part of the vascular system in plants that is made up of living cells arranged into long tubes. Tubes transports sugars and other organic substances throughout the plant from the leaves - produced via photosynthesis in leaves.

Define: pistil
The female reproductive organ of the flower; made up of the stigma, the style, and the ovary. The pistil is sometimes called the carpal.
