Why are smaller petals and sepals an advantage to flowers pollinated by the wind?

wind pollinated plants to not need to attract polinators like insects, birds and bats. The flower petals and sepals are adaptations that attract pollinators.





In addition, it is possible that petals and sepals get in the way of pollen flying around in the wind, and may inhibit pollen from sticking to the stigma.
