Leaves

Leaves are vital organs of a plant that primarily function in photosynthesis, the process of converting sunlight into energy. They contain chlorophyll, which gives them their green color and helps absorb light. Leaves also facilitate gas exchange, allowing oxygen to exit and carbon dioxide to enter through tiny pores called stomata. Additionally, they play a role in transpiration, the evaporation of water that helps draw nutrients from the soil. Overall, leaves support a plant’s growth and survival by producing food and managing water and air exchange efficiently.
