The sepals roll is to cover and protect the imature flower bud, it also plays a small roll in supporting the petals once the flower has opened. Sepals are normally green.

Petals on the otherhand are normally brightly coloured, some may even look plain, but have infra-red markings on them to attract insects (bees, moths, ants etc.) as well as birds to assist with pollination.

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. .
