Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The process of transpiration keeps the cell turgid, cools the surface of the leaves, and helps in the movement of minerals from the soil to different parts of the plant.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
