why are sepals important to a flower
If all the 12 flowers are pentamerous, the number of sepals will be 60. If the number of sepals is variable in the 12 flowers, the total number will be counted accordingly.
Some flowers have the sepals act just like petals. They call these tepals. In other plants the sepal falls off after the flower opens. But some plants have the sepals become part of the seed pod or fruit.
A hibiscus flower usually has five sepals.
The sepals together are called the calyx. The calyx is the outermost whorl of a flower, typically consisting of multiple sepals that protect the developing bud before it opens. In some flowers, the calyx can also contribute to the overall appearance and function of the flower.
