Answer 2

Answer:

• Sepals

Explanation:

• The term "bud" refers to the young, unopened flower. A flower finally emerges from a bud.

• A sepal is a part of the flower of an angiosperm (flowering plants).The frequently green sepals support the petals while they are in bloom and protect the flower while it is still in the bud stage. The word sepalum, which is derived from the Ancient Greek word skép, which meaning "covering," was coined by Nol Martin Joseph de Necker in 1790.

• After flowering, the calyx on most plants withers or becomes vestigial, thus it is no longer necessary. To protect the fruit or seeds, several plants keep a live or dried thorny calyx.

• Sepals and petals are both modified leaves morphologically. The outer sterile whorls of the flower, known as the perianth, are the calyx (the sepals) and the corolla (the petals).
