∙ 14y agoIn botany, the petiole is the small stalk attaching the leaf blade to the stem. The petiole usually has the same internal structure as the stem. Outgrowths appearing on each side of the petiole are called stipules. Leaves lacking a petiole are called sessile, or clasping when they partly surround the stem. Clasping leaves of the Poaceae have an extra structure called theligule. Petiolate leaves are ones where the petiole connects to the leaf before its apex.

∙ 12y agoThe petiole is the base of a leaf that is not a stem because it has a leaf node that consists of a leaf axil, a sheath and a stipule.It is use to hold the leaf in place and to carry nutriens to the leaf.The leaf node is bellow the petiole and connects the petiole to the stem.
