Sepals in monocots are called perianth
The sepals are located at the very end of the flower its self, but on top of the stem. The function of the sepals is that they surround and protect the flower bud.

No, calyx and sepal are not the same thing. The calyx is the collective term for all the sepals of a flower, while a sepal is one of the leaf-like structures that make up the outermost part of the flower. Sepals can be separate or fused together to form the calyx.
It is called the sepals. :)
The petals of a flower are collectively called the corolla.

The green leaf-like structure that protects an unopened bud of a flower is called a sepal. Sepals are typically green and are part of the outermost whorl of the flower, serving to protect the developing bud.
separate sepals- aposepalous separate petals- apopetalous separate stamens- apostemonous separate pistils- apocarpous
