what possible functions could be petals & sepals serve

Sepals serve the purpose of protection at the time of bud stage from infection or any other harm to the flower from any external agent and also serves the purpose of providing starch to the flower by the process of photosynthesis.

Petals are sometimes very colourful and also scented so as to attract insects or any other creatures towards them so that these creatures become the medium for the transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma which will result in fertilisation.

function of sepal

Sepals, which form the first part of the flower termed as calyx, are those small green petals that nourish and protect the flower while it still is enclosed in a bud and has yet not developed into a full-fledged flower.

In a simple flower 's structure, there are rings of leaves around it. The outermostcircle consists of five green, leaf-shaped sepals, which are guarding the flower. Inside the sepals is another ring of colourful petals, which are usually heart-shaped and have flaps at their bases. This is the area where nectar is produced to attract bees and other insects.

Both the sepals and petals are attached at their bases to the receptacle. A receptacle is the swollen end of the flower stalk, appearing like a cone in the midst of a flower. Most flowers are built in this fashion, however the variations in colours, shapes and sizes varies with every different kind of flower.
