Sepal

A leaf like structure below the petals, it protects the flower when it is a bud

Real World Example

Imagine trying to keep a gift safe from damage before you give it to someone special. Just like you might wrap a gift in protective paper to ensure it stays pristine, a sepal acts as a protective covering for a flower bud, shielding it from harm until it’s ready to bloom. The wrapping paper is to your gift what the sepal is to the flower bud—it guards and protects the treasure inside until the perfect moment to reveal it.
