ray floret
Daisy's outer petal
A ray floret is one of the strap-shaped flowers that form the outer ring of a composite flower head, like the "petals" of a daisy or sunflower.
These flattened, elongated florets surround the central disk florets and are typically sterile or female.
The bright yellow ray florets attracted pollinators to the flower head.
