Plants flower for one simple reason: pollination.
The bright coloured flowers and the scent attracts insects towards them. While the insect is sucking the nectar, the pollen grains get attached to its hairy skin. Then this insect visits another flower and the pollen grains might get deposited on the stigma. There you go, the flower has been fertilized and very soon, it wil become a fruit.
Now you will ask why does it become a fruit? Here's why:
To distribute its seeds.
The flower petals are bright in color so as to attract pollinators such as insects, birds, and animals to facilitate reproduction in plants.
In most flowers, the petals contain the majority of fragrance, as evidenced by the use of rose and jasmine petals in the distillation of perfume oils.
Well, honey, plants with 4 or 5 petals are usually classified as dicots. Monocots typically have petals in multiples of 3, but hey, there are always exceptions to keep things interesting in the botanical world. So, in short, if you're counting petals, you're most likely dealing with dicots, not monocots.
To attract bees, moths and other insects to achieve pollination
No, you cannot grow a flower from its petals alone. Flowers typically propagate through seeds, cuttings, or bulbs, as petals do not contain the necessary structures to develop roots or a new plant. Some plants can be grown from cuttings that include a portion of the stem and leaves, but petals are not viable for propagation.
Yes. All flower petals, and all parts of plants are composed of cells.
Dicot plants usually produce flowers with four or five petals.
NO they dont
Not all Australian flowers have petals because some plants just do not produce them. Flowering perennials are examples of plants that develop colors but lack full petals.

There are many plants in which sepals and petals are simlar for example is Chenopodium album (Goose feet Plant).
They are aquatic plants they have 6 petals and when they are not fully bloomed the are mistaken as frog bits.
In most plants, this would be the flower; specifically, the petals.
