Detailed explanation-1: -The function of the palisade layer, which is also called the palisade mesophyll, is photosynthesis because it contains most of the chloroplasts in the leaf which maximize energy production during photosynthesis. The palisade layer of the leaf is composed of palisade cells that contain chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a nice organized order we find the palisade parenchyma cells of the mesophyll. These cells have a lot of chloroplasts in them, which is why they’re the main sites of photosynthesis in the leaf (since chloroplasts conduct photosynthesis).

Detailed explanation-3: -Chloroplasts are mainly contained in the mesophyll cells located between the upper epidermis and the lower epidermis (i.e. in palisade cells and spongy cells) of leaves.
