Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis: Plants are known to produce food on their own through leaves. The roots of a plant absorb water and minerals from the soil, which are converted to food in presence of sunlight by the leaves. This process is known as photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Leaves are one of the three organs of a plant. The most important job of a leaf is to make food for the plant. Leaves are the main (but not only) organ responsible for turning sunlight into food.

Detailed explanation-4: -All leaves change sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. The leaves are the primary food-making part of the plant. Leaves absorb carbon dioxide from the air, combine it with water that comes through the roots of the plants to make food (a sugar molecule known as glucose), and release oxygen into the air.
