Detailed explanation-1: -The main function of a leaf is to produce food for the plant by photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, the substance that gives plants their characteristic green colour, absorbs light energy. The internal structure of the leaf is protected by the leaf epidermis, which is continuous with the stem epidermis.
Detailed explanation-2: -When it comes to photosynthesis, the most important parts of the plant are the leaves. Their cells and structures are specialized to take in light and allow for gas exchange with the air around them. They also contain vascular structures that transport water from the roots into the cells that carry out photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Leaf prepares food for plants by the process of photosynthesis. Leaf has abundant stomata for gaseous exchange and performs the function of respiration. The leaf is the main site of water loss through the process of transpiration.
Detailed explanation-4: -Leaves are adapted for photosynthesis and gaseous exchange. They are adapted for photosynthesis by having a large surface area, and contain openings, called stomata to allow carbon dioxide into the leaf and oxygen out.
