Petals are mainly for show, reflecting bright colors like runway lights for insects to pick up/deposit pollen (and flag where they can feed on tasty nectar). Some petals have been adapted for different purposes, too. For example, the flowers of a monkey orchid have evolved to look like monkey faces to scare away anything that might trample them. Other than show, though, they're not used for much.

Why is a petal an organ?
A flower is considered a organ because the parts of a flowering plant are characterized by two basic systems: a root system and a shoot system. These two systems are connected by vascular tissue that runs from the root through the shoot. The flower, a component of the shoot system, is responsible for seed development and reproduction. There are four main flower parts in angiosperms: sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels. Based on this division of the plant's systems the flower is an organ.
