Question

8. Coloured parts of a flower are always not petals. Explain with the help of examples.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Petals are modified leaves that surround the reproductive parts of flowers. They are often brightly colored or unusually shaped to attract pollinators. Together, all of the petals of a flower are called corolla. Petals are usually accompanied by another set of special leaves like structures called sepals, that collectively form the calyx and lie just beneath the corolla. The calyx and the corolla together make up the perianth. When the petals and sepals of a flower are difficult to distinguish, they are collectively called tepals. Examples of plants in which the term tepal is appropriate include genera such as Aloe and Tulipa. Conversely, genera such as Rosa and Phaseolus have well-distinguished sepals and petals. When the undifferentiated tepals resemble petals, they are referred to as "petaloid", as in petaloid monocots, orders of monocots with brightly coloured tepals. Since they include Liliales, an alternative name is lilioid monocots.

Answer 2

Answer:

Petals. Usually, petals are the most prominent part of a flower structure, owing to their vivid color (in most flower examples) and sometimes scent. Their main function is to attract pollinators and also protect the inner reproductive structures of a flower. In some flowers, petals are absent or reduced.
