The young unopened flower is termed as a bud.

Detailed Explanation:

A bud is a young, undeveloped shoot that may eventually develop into a flower, leaf, or stem. In the case of a flower bud, it specifically refers to an immature or unopened flower.
Flower buds are often protected by structures called sepals, which form the outermost whorl of a flower and collectively make up the calyx.
As the flower matures, the bud opens up, allowing the petals and other floral parts to become visible. This process is known as anthesis.
