Androecium is related to the male-reproductive part of the flower, that is, Stamen.

The stamen is the male-reproductive part of the flower that produces Pollen Grains. Pollen grains land on the stigma to form a fruit.
Androecium can be defined as a whorl that contains male reproductive structures called stamens.
Other such whorls are:-
1. Calyx
2. Corolla
3. Gynoecium
4. Androecium
The male reproductive organ of the flower is called androecium. Stamen is the unit of androecium.
Explanation:
A stamen is the pollen producing reproductive organ of the flower and contains a filament and an anther.
Anthers are mostly double lobed and contain pollen. Pollen grains develop from a microspore and contain the male gametophyte.
Flowers are made up of both reproductive and non reproductive structures arranged in four whorls including calyx, corolla, androecium and gynaecium.
