Solution:
In a transverse section of the anther, a typical microsporangium appears near circular in outline. It is generally surrounded by four wall layers the epidermis, endothecium, middle layers, and the tapetum. The outer three wall layers perform the function of protection and help in the dehiscence of anther to release the pollen. The innermost wall layer is the tapetum. It nourishes the developing pollen grains.
