Flowers that are pollinated by the wind have smaller petals and sepals that are pollinated by insects or animals why are small petals and sepals an advantage to these flowers?
Answer 1: If a bloom has large petals and sepals, it's much harder to pollinate the flower. They would just get in the way. Answer 2: Petals and sepals are used to attract pollinators and give them a place to land. Wind pollinated plants don't need to attract pollinators or provide landing space for them. Thus, there is no use for large sepals and petals. .

Insect pollinated plants need to attract insects to their flowers and they generally have petals and are often brightly coloured.
Is a buttercup flower a wind or insect pollinated plant?
It's bright and showy, and even has little nectar ducts under its petals, so insect-pollinated. Wind-pollinated plants generally don't have flowers, or the flowers are very small and inconspicuous, like those of grass. Wind-pollinated plants also make far more pollen (try tapping a pine tree or reed in spring) because the wind does not take it directly to its destination, much of it will be lost. With insects there's a fair chance the little there is will reach another flower of the same species.
