What happens to the sepals as the flower opens?

Sepals are attached to the top of the stem of the flower. After the flower is completed formed the sepals open. This allows the petals to open and spread to expose the inside of the flower. Sepals in some plants are thorny or hairy to protect the plant and in some fall off after the flower opens.

What is the function of sepal and petal?

The sepals are the green-leaf like structures that enclose and protect the developing flower. It is a modified leaf in the outermost whorl calyx of a flower. The calyx (which the sepals are the outer part of) protects the bud before it opens.

What do the sepals do?

Morphologically both sepals and petals are a modified leaf. When the flower is in bud, the typical function of the sepals is to enclose and protect the more delicate floral parts within. The sepal also helps protect the delicate petals from bug attacks. Sepals in most flowers are green and lie under (or around) the more conspicuous petals. The rose is one example of a flower with a sepal.
