does anyone know about sepals?

Question

like in plants

Answer 1

SEPALS make up the lower (or outermost) whorl of floral leaves. They are frequently, but not always, green and rather leaf-like in appearance, although they usually are smaller than the foliage leaves of the plant. Collectively, all sepals of a flower constitute the CALYX. The major function appears to be protection of the flower parts during early development.

Answer 2

They are usually the separate, green parts that surround and protect the flower bud and extend from the base of a flower after it has opened. Sepals tend to occur in the same number as the petals and to be centered over the petal divisions. In some species sepals are colored like petals, and they can even be indistinguishable from petals, as in the lilies (in what are called tepals). In some groups, such as the poppies, the sepals fall off after the flower bud opens.

Answer 3

A sepal is what protects the developing flower, although some plants do not have them.

Answer 4

Sepals generally have two main functions:

1. protect the flower bud (You've seen the green part that covers a rose bud.)
2. support the petals of flowers after they have bloomed
