the sepal
It protects the flower bud.
The sepals protect the flower when it's in bud by enclosing and shielding it. Sepals are the outermost protective structures of the flower, providing support and protection while the flower develops inside.

Sepals
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.
Sepals protect the flower whilst the flower is developing from a bud. It also protects the ovary and supports petals.
The green petal-like parts at the base of a flower that protect it while it is still a bud are called sepals. Sepals are typically leaf-like structures that encase and safeguard the developing flower, preventing damage from environmental factors and predators. Collectively, they form a structure known as the calyx. Once the flower blooms, sepals may remain and can contribute to the overall appearance of the flower.
Called a Sepal (plural is Calyx) they are the outer covering of a closed bud.
The calyx, which is made up of sepals, surrounds and protects a maturing bud. Sepals are the outermost part of the flower and provide support and protection to the developing reproductive structures within the bud.

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.
