The sepals forming the calyx and sometimes the bracts & epicalyx
Sepals protect the petals in a bud. Sepals are modified leaves found at the base of flowers and they enclose and protect the developing flower bud.
The special leaves that protect unopened buds are called bud scales. These modified leaves form a protective covering around the bud, shielding it from environmental factors and preventing desiccation. Bud scales typically fall off when the bud opens, allowing the new leaves or flowers to emerge.
It is called the sepals. :)

A modified leaf that forms a protective covering for a bud until it opens is called a bud scale. These scales help protect the delicate developing bud from damage and harsh environmental conditions until it is ready to unfurl and grow.

The structures that cover and protect the buds of a flower are known as sepals. These are essentially leaves that have been modified.

The structure that protects a maturing bud is called the bud scale. Bud scales are modified leaves that cover and shield the developing bud from environmental factors such as cold temperatures and moisture loss. They help to safeguard the delicate tissues inside the bud as it prepares to grow into a new shoot or flower. Once the bud is ready to open, the scales typically fall away.
Leaflike parts that cover and protect the flower bud
A floral bud may produce a blossom. An axillary bud, located in the axil (angle between leaf petiole and the stem), may produce a branch, or new leaf. A terminal bud, located at the apex (the very top of the stem), may increase the height of the plant.
