I think you have misunderstood something. If a leaf is under water, it will still photosynthesise and produce oxygen as long as there is sufficient light. If there is no light it will just respire, consuming oxygen, whether or not it is in water.

∙ 9y agoDuring photosynthesis large amount of oxygen is released as a result of photolysis of water. This free oxygen in the gaseous form gets diffused from the leaves in the form of bubbles in submerged plants.

What are the hairs on the leaf of the water fern for?
The submerged leaf filaments are covered with brown hairs which function as roots for water and nutrients absorption. Sporocarps(i) are borne on submerged leaf filaments.
Why does ranunculus aquatilis show leaf dimorphism?
Ranunculus aquatilis, also known as water crowfoot, shows leaf dimorphism because it grows in both submerged and emergent conditions. The submerged leaves are finely divided and feathery to maximize surface area for underwater photosynthesis, while the emergent leaves are broader and more sturdy to withstand exposure to air and sunlight. This adaptation allows the plant to effectively capture energy from both underwater and above-water environments.
Explanation rinsing the leaf in water?
To remove the soil and any contaminants.
Why the loss of oxygen from the leaf of a plant may be described as excretion?
Oxygen is produced when carbon dioxide and water are broken down into sugar and oxygen. Oxygen is the waste product
How does oxygen get into the leaf?
experiment to show the presence of in a leaf

Will photosynthesis occur in submerged leaf or plant?
So long as the plant or leaf is able to absorb sunlight through the water - yes.
How do Lily's breath?
Using their stomata normally located under the leaf, but since the bottom of the lily pad's leaf is submerged in water, the stomata are on the top of the leaf.
How does the lily and the lily breathe?

What does stoma allow to enter the leaf?
oxygen and some water
From where does the oxygen liberated in photosynthesis come?
If you mean where is the oxygen released when photosynthesis has taken place then the answer is the stoma which is located under the leaf

Oxygen is produced when carbon dioxide and water are broken down into sugar and oxygen. Oxygen is the waste product
When water is used to wash off alcohol from a leaf why does the leaf turns dry?
Because the oxygen in water and peroxide in alcohol mix and tiny bubbles form and when they pop air comes out that makes the leaf dry
Why do lotus and water lily have stomata on the upper surface of the leaf?
The stomata have to be able to access air easily as its purpose is to take in and give out carbon dioxide oxygen. Since both the water lily and lotus are water plants partially submerged in water, air would be more easily accesible from the upper surface.
What does leaf release?
A leaf releases oxygen
