The basic function of the petal is to attract insects and mammals to the flower for pollination; to a certain degree they also offer a small amount of protection to the reproductive structures. Some petals play a secondary roll providing a landing platform for pollinators (mainly insects).
The petals are also called the inflorescence of the the flower.
In Dicotyledonous flowers the petals are protected when young by the calyx.
In Dicotyledonous plants the flowers either have petals in multiples of 4 or 5 (eg. 4, 8, 12 or 5, 10, 15 etc.).
In Monocotyledonous plants the flower have petals in multiples of 3 (eg. 3, 6, 9 etc.).
Some petals are brightly coloured and are pleasant for humans to look at.
Flowers that sometimes appear drab to humans are patterned in ways that are visible to animals and insects, but not us - they may contain pigments and patterns that are only visible in utraviolet light (which some insects can see).
Petals have no function in photosynthesis.
A petal is a part of a flower. Not to be confused with a pedal which is operated by one's feet, such as a brake pedal.
The sepals protect the tender parts of the flower in the unopened flower.
The function of the style in a flower is to connect the stigma to the ovary. This is where pollen grains are deposited and transported to the ovary for pollination.
The point is so that the flower can be fertilised and that flowers can reproduce

You can preserve a flower petal by dehydrating it.

Sepals protect the flower whilst the flower is developing from a bud.
The homonyms for "peddle" are "pedal" and "petal." "Pedal" refers to a lever operated by the foot in a vehicle, while "petal" refers to one of the separate parts of the corolla of a flower.
The corolla is the collective term for the petals of a flower. Therefore the function is to attract insects for pollination.
