Answer:

Butterfly cocoon camouflage is related to the protective function because it prevents the cocoon from being attacked by predators.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cocoon of butterflies and moths has the function of protecting the larva during metamorphosis. Some species, however, present the cocoon with the ability to camouflage the surrounding environment. This camouflage provides even greater protection as the cocoon is disguised and goes unnoticed by the attention of predators.
