Answer:

The perianth typically functions both to protect the immature reproductive organs, and to attract pollinators and direct them to the reproductive structures.The term 'tepal' implies that the perianth organs from an individual flower are morphologically similar and not differentiated into sepals and petals.

Explanation:

Extra:

The perianth is an important element of most flowers. It consists of several sterile, dorsiventrally flattened organs that surround the fertile floral organs. The perianth typically functions both to protect the immature reproductive organs, and to attract pollinators and direct them to the reproductive structures. In the majority of angiosperms, particularly the eudicots, the perianth is bipartite and differentiated into two (or more) distinct series or whorls that show different morphologies: an outer whorl of sepals and an inner whorl of petals . By contrast, many early-divergent angiosperms, monocots, and some basal eudicots show little or no morphological distinction between the outer and inner perianth series. In these cases, the perianth members are collectively termed tepals, a term devised by AP de Candolle in 1827.
