Petals have the following importance to a plant
1.) They protect the reproductive organs of the flower.
2.) They attract insects such as bees which aid in pollination.
Absence of petals would mean :
The plants sex organ would be exposed and even destroyed.
There would be minimal pollination and thus will mean the plant would not bear fruits.

Petals is a very important part of a plant. The primary function of a flower is reproduction. Flowers are the reproductive parts of a plant. They help to join the sperm with the pollen grains. Now the question arise what is pollination? Pollination is the movement of pollens grains which are developed in the anthers to the stigma of the flowers. Petals are basically modified leaf.
