Detailed explanation-1: -The process of photosynthesis takes place in the leaves and converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and sugar. This is how plants make their food. Without leaves, the plant cannot produce food or grow, so it will eventually die without new growth.
Detailed explanation-2: -The leaf is the major storer and distributor of food and energy in a plant. If all the leaves are removed from a plant, then photosynthesis stops. Without photosynthesis, the plant starves to death.
Detailed explanation-3: -Leaves give out water vapour through the process of transpiration. Green leaves make their food by the process of using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight. Therefore, if plant does not have leaves they will not be able to prepare food and will eventually die.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer. If the leaves of the plants are removed, the plants will not perform photosynthesis and there will be no food.
