Question

Explain why the petals of flowers are variously colored?

Answer 1

Reasons for various colorations of petals:

1. The modified leaves which surround the flowers are petals.
2. All the petals in the flower are collectively referred to as corolla.
3. Sepals are under the petal, which together forms the calyx, and that lies below the corolla.
4. These surround the flower's reproductive parts, and they are brightly colored to attract pollinators.
5. The reproductive organs of the plants are flowers.
6. Insects are attracted to flowers because they are variously and brightly colored, which helps pollinate.
