Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Leaves. Leaves are the most important part of a plant. They contain chlorophyll that helps the plants to prepare their food using sunlight, carbon dioxide and water. A leaf consists of three main parts-petiole, leaf base and lamina.
Detailed explanation-2: -Leaves are plant organs with a primary function of photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -In leaves, cells in the mesophyll (the tissue between the upper and lower epidermis) are uniquely suited to carry out photosynthesis on a large scale. This is due to their high concentration of chloroplasts, which are the sites of photosynthesis. More chloroplasts means more photosynthetic capability.
