No, the petals are the ones being protected. The sepals are the protectors.
Sepals protect a young flower by enclosing it before it blooms. Sepals are usually green and located at the base of the flower.

The young petals of a flower are typically protected by structures called sepals. Sepals are the green, leaf-like parts that encase and shield the developing flower bud before it blooms. This protective layer helps guard against environmental factors, such as harsh weather and herbivores, while also preventing dehydration. Once the flower is ready to bloom, the sepals often fold back or open to reveal the petals.
Sepals protect the flower whilst the flower is developing from a bud. It also protects the ovary and supports petals.
Morphologically both sepals and petals are a modified leaf. When the flower is in bud, the typical function of the sepals is to enclose and protect the more delicate floral parts within. The sepal also helps protect the delicate petals from bug attacks. Sepals in most flowers are green and lie under (or around) the more conspicuous petals. The rose is one example of a flower with a sepal.
The sepals and petals protect the flower bud. Sepals are the outermost layer of the flower bud and protect it during development. Petals are the colorful structures that can attract pollinators and also provide some protection to the developing bud.
The sepals are the outermost part of a flower that form outside the bud and cover the petals. They are typically green and protect the developing flower bud.
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.

False. The petals of a flower play a crucial role in reproduction by attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Additionally, they protect the reproductive organs of the flower, such as the stamens and pistils.
