Sepals and petals are referred to as accessory parts of a flower because they are not directly involved in reproduction. Instead, they serve supportive roles, with sepals protecting the developing flower bud and petals attracting pollinators through their color and shape. These structures enhance the reproductive process but do not participate in the formation of seeds or fruit. Their primary function is to aid in the successful reproduction of the plant by facilitating pollination.
