Detailed explanation-1: -Calyx in the bud is the outer most covering and helps protect the bud.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sepal: The outer parts of the flower (often green and leaf-like) that enclose a developing bud.

Detailed explanation-3: -They are collectively called calyx. They protect the flower in bud state as well act as a support for the petals when in bloom.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sepals are found in the outside whorl that protects a flower’s inside parts from drying out and insect damage. If you look at a flower bud, what you see are the green sepals. In some flowers, the sepals fall off as the flower opens. Other flowers have sepals that stay attached but remain small and green.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sepals (collectively called the calyx) are modified leaves that encase the developing flower. They are sterile floral parts and may be either green or leaflike or composed of petal-like tissue.
