The flower is the reproductive unit of a plant. The petals in a flower help in reproduction in one way. The petals are generally brightly colored and attract insects and bees for pollination. after pollination, fertilization occurs which results in the formation of zygote and eventually a fruit with seeds, i.e, reproduction occurs.

Petals on a plant serve various functions such as attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies through their color and scent, protecting reproductive structures like stamens and pistils, and providing a platform for these structures during pollination. Additionally, petals can also help in repelling herbivores and pests due to their bitterness or toxicity.
