why is a petal an organ?

Answer 1

petal is basically a part of a flower. it can also be referred to as an organ because it has a role in reproduction in plants. the reason why they are bright coloured and showy is so that it can attract birds and insects towards it, so that they drop the pollen grains, thus helping initiate pollination.

Answer 2

A petal isn't an organ, organs do have petals but you notice them more on bikes, they are connected to the rear wheel by a chain and as you push down on the petals, the wheel turns around... ergo - movement. Organ petals only act as extra keys.

Answer 3

A petal regarded as a highly modified leaf, is one member or part of the corolla of a flower. The corolla is the name for all of the petals of a flower; the inner perianth whorl, term used when this is not the same in appearance (color, shape) as the outermost whorl (the calyx). It is the inner part of the perianth that comprises the sterile parts of a flower and consists of inner and outer tepals. These tepals are usually differentiated into petals and sepals. The term "tepal" is usually applied when the petals and sepals are similar in shape and color. In a "typical" flower the petals are showy and colored and surround the reproductive parts. The number of petals in a flower (see merosity) is indicative of the plant's classification: dicots having typically four or five petals and monocots having three, or some multiple of three, petals.
