Storage of nutrients and water is a function shared by roots and stems, but not by leaves. Roots store nutrients and absorb water from the soil, while stems can store energy and water to be used by the plant when needed. Leaves, on the other hand, primarily function in photosynthesis and gas exchange.
The waxy transparent layer of leaves prevents water evaporation.
1. Photosynthesis 2. Collects water
Because that's where the plant can absorb the water...not through the flowers or leaves.
defence. the cacti leaves are the thorns...
The main function of a plant's leaves is photosynthesis, where they absorb light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (food) and oxygen. Leaves also help regulate gas exchange, control water loss through transpiration, and provide a platform for nutrient uptake.
why is the function of chlorophyll in leaves?
The xylem takes water up from the roots of a plant to the leaves.
Mosses do not have true leaves like other plants. Instead, they have small, simple structures called phyllids that serve a similar function to leaves. These phyllids help mosses to photosynthesize and absorb water, but they are not as complex as true leaves.
The major function of leaves is to photosynthesize.
Scale leaves are small, protective leaves found on bulbs, corms, and rhizomes. They serve to protect the plant's growing point and store nutrients. They may also help reduce water loss and provide insulation to the plant.
The roots take in water and food - the leaves expel carbon dioxide.
