Sepals are the part of the flower that cover the petals when at bud stage. They also help protect the flower bud.On an open flower, they are the usually green parts around the base of the flower like small green leaves. On tulips, the sepals are colored and look like petals. See a diagram explaining this by clicking on the link below this answer.
A sepal (from Latin separatus "separate" + petalum "petal") = separate petal
