Best Answer

The lamina is the expanded portion or blade of a leaf and it is an above-ground organ specialized for photosynthesis. For this purpose, a leaf is typically, to a greater or lesser degree, flat and thin, to expose the chloroplast containing cells (chlorenchyma) to light over a broad area, and to allow light to penetrate fully into the tissues.

The lamina is the blade of the leaf. It is not the veins or the midrib.
