Answer : COROLLA
corolla – n
(botany) the whorl of petals of a flower that collectively form an inner floral envelope or layer of the perianth; “we cultivate the flower for its corolla“.
Corolla in plants is a second whorl, which completes the perianth in combination with a layer of the calyx. It generally comprises several petals whose primary function is similar to the role of the calyx, which protects the flower reproductive structures.
Corolla is also a sterile part of the flower. It can be tubular, funnel-shaped, wheel-shaped etc. The size of the corolla is greater than the calyx. Petals are colourful and scented whose sole function is to attract pollinating agents like bees, birds etc.
