Leafs are flat parts of plants, which grow from stem, twig, branch, etc. They make food for the plant through a process named photosynthesis, by taking CO2 and releasing O2 to the atmosphere. You can study its structure by two ways, seeing its external parts and its internal structure (also its cells).

Externally: apex (or leaf point), upper epidermis) which protect the cells), margin (the outer edge), veins (they carry water, minerals and food to the plan), lower epidermis (covered by small holes known as stomata), midrib and the petiole (or stem).

Internally: cutin (a waxy surface), upper epidermis, palisade cell, chloroplast (contains chlorophyll for the photosynthesis), air space, spongy mesophyll cell (were the respiration takes place), lower epidermis, stoma (opens to allow gases in and out)
