Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Leaf is a part of the plant that is in charge of making food for the plant. This food-making process is called photosynthesis. The raw materials used in the process are carbon dioxide and water. Chlorophyll in leaves and sunlight help in the preparation of glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -The flat green part of a leaf is called a leaf blade or lamina. Midrib, veins are arranged on the flat green lamina part of the leaf. Food is prepared by leaves in the lamina by performing photosynthesis. Lamina is responsible for photosynthesis as it contains the chlorophyll.
