You'll have to be more specific: do you mean the bottom layer of the leaf tissue?

the tissue of a leaf has several layers:

the cuticle (waxy overing in the top to avoid excess evaporation)

the upper epidermis (the cells that protect the leaf from disease)

the palisade parenchyma (lots of the metabolic processes occur here, and they provide structure for the leaf)

the spongy mesophyll (have lots of space between them for air so the cells can get CO2)

the lower epidermis (protects the plant from disease, has stoma which allow diffusion of air into the leaf and water out of the leaf)

What side of a leaf are stomata located?

The lower surface of the leaf has the stomata. You can see the reason for this if you cut a leaf in half from upper side to lower side. The upper portion of the leaf consists of tightly packed cells that are full of chloroplasts for taking in light. The lower half of the leaf is made up of loosely arranged cells. This allows room for air to enter the lower part of the leaf through the stomata and contribute carbon dioxide and take away oxygen. The upper surface of the leaf is covered by the cuticle which prevents dehydration, as such the stomata cannot be located or function on the upper surface
