Best Answer

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. The sepal allows the calyx to open and provides rigid support for the petals and reproductive organs of the flower.
