Solution

Dear student,

A flower has both reproductive and non-reproductive parts arranged in the form of whorls,
Non-reproductive part includes Calyx commonly known as sepals that is the dark green part which is visible and Corolla commonly known as the brightly coloured petals.
Reproductive part includes Androecium and Gynoecium. Gynoecium consists of female reproductive parts called carpel which is composed of stigma, style and ovary.
Androecium consists of male reproductive parts called stamen which is composed of an anther and filament. So actually the statement " Male reproductive part composed of stamens" means that androecium which is a male reproductive organ in flowers is actually made up multiple stamens which have anther and filament.

Thanks and regards.
