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.
Sepals in monocots are called perianth
Corolla.

The sepals are located at the very end of the flower its self, but on top of the stem. The function of the sepals is that they surround and protect the flower bud.
