pinnate leaves have one main vein with several veins branching out from it
There are pinnate leaves, which look like leaves from an orange tree or an apple tree, and there are palmate leaves, which look like maple leaves. The best way to remember palmate leaves is to remember the keyword "palm", as in the palm of your hand and the way your fingers branch out from it.

The Northern Red Oak has a pinnate vein pattern. Most (if not all) oaks have pinnate leaves. Maple leaves, which are somewhat similar, are palmate. A pinnate vein pattern has one main vein (called a midrib) with several more branching off. A palmate leaf's veins all start at one point, kind of like the bones of your fingers in your hand. It is easier to see the veins if you look at the underside of the leaf. If all else fails, pull up Google and search something. Make sure you find several different sources that all say the same thing before determining what is right. This always works for me!:)
When you look at the image of a Sassafras leaf, would you say that it is shaped more like the palm of your hand (palmate), or is it shaped more like a feather (pinnate)? If you Google "Sassafras image", you can answer the question yourself.
