Petals are the colourful outer portion of a flower. They can be separate such as in a Daisy or Rose, or fused together like an Orchid.

Monocotyledonous plants have petals in multiples of 3 (3 or 6 or 9 etc.), whereas dicotyledonous plants have petals in multiples of 4 or 5 (4 or 8 or 12, or, 5 or 10 or 15).

The primary function of the petal is to attract insect and animal pollinators to ensure fertilization of the ovules in the flower.
