What is tepals flower?

Tepals in a flower refer to the structures that are collectively responsible for forming the outer whorl of petal-like structures that typically surround the reproductive organs of a flowering plant. In tepal flowers, the sepals and petals are indistinguishable and have similar appearance, size, color and shape, which often makes it difficult to identify them as separate parts. Examples of plants with tepal flowers include lilies and tulips. Tepals play an important role in attracting pollinators and facilitating the reproduction of the plants they belong to.
