It depends on what sort of leaf. In broad leaved flowering plants it is normally down the middle. Gingko biloba doesn't have a main vein but many radiating from the stem. The Narrow leaved flowering plants have a series of so called main veins. The conifers don't have leaves, they have needles.
The main vein of a leaf is called the midrib. It provides structure and support to the leaf and helps transport water and nutrients throughout the leaf.

The olive leaf typically exhibits a pinnate venation pattern. In this type of venation, the main central vein, or midrib, runs along the length of the leaf, with smaller lateral veins branching off from it, resembling a feather. This structure allows for efficient transport of nutrients and water throughout the leaf.
The main function of the leaf vein is to transport water, minerals, and sugars throughout the leaf. Veins also provide structural support for the leaf and help in distributing nutrients evenly. Additionally, leaf veins play a role in the exchange of gases, allowing for the entry of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen during photosynthesis.
The leaf blade , the main vein , the veins , the stem and the leaf.
main vein / leaf blade
Main vein, Central vein, Mid vein are all correct to a point. "Rachis" seems to be the scientifically preferred term, though. "Midrib" also sees some usage in a few types of leaf.
The main vein of a leaf is called the midrib. It provides structure and support to the leaf and helps transport water and nutrients throughout the leaf.
Not exactly. The vein of a leaf acts just like the veins and arteries in the human body. They carry water throughout the leaf and plant.
The scientific term for the vein of a leaf is Xylem and phloem.
The scientific term for the vein of a leaf is Xylem and phloem.
The main vein of a leaf has a double pipeline of cells because it consists of xylem and phloem tissues. Xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the leaves, while phloem transports sugars and other organic nutrients produced through photosynthesis in the leaves to other parts of the plant. This arrangement allows for efficient transport of these essential substances.
The central vein can be called a midrib or mid-vein
Are you stuck on the SMH easy crossword today(13/1/2009) too?The answer is "midrib"
Type your answer here...to carry nutrients, water, and food through the leaf
A simple leaf has a flat, thin structure with a main vein running through the center. It typically consists of a blade, petiole, and stipules. The blade is the main part of the leaf where photosynthesis occurs, while the petiole connects the leaf to the stem. Stipules are small, leaf-like structures at the base of the petiole.
