I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'parts of flowers' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both natural objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'suites are composed' is the wordplay.
'composed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'suites'+'are'='suitesare'
'suitesare' anagrammed gives 'ESTUARIES'.

'for' acts as a link.
