Leaves are under continuous attack by insects, viruses, mold, and fungus. Many of these can cause growths.

Many things that look like growths may be cleverly disguised insect eggs, or shape-changing insects in camouflaged cocoons.

Some growths on leaves are caused by chemicals emitted by an insect. This causes the leaf to grow a little lump of leaf cells, making a safe spot to protect the insect's eggs.
