explain in deatil the function of calyx?
Asked by | 14 Sep, 2012, 07:40: PM
answered-by-expert Expert Answer

The calyx is the outermost whorl of the flower. It is usually green. The units of calyx are called sepals.

  • The calyx encloses and protects the inner whorls of the flower in the bud stage against insects, rain, drought and intense sunlight.

  • Since the sepals contain chlorophyll, they can also synthesize food.
