A leaf is an above-ground plant organ specialized for photosynthesis. Leaves are also the sites in most plants where transpiration and guttation take place. Leaves can store food and water, and are modified in some plants for other purposes. Furthermore, leaves are prominent in the human diet as leaf vegetables. ______________________________________________________________________ Leaves absorb sunlight, thus promoting photosynthesis which produces the green colour, keeps the plant alive and incidentally - though not importantly to the plant - helps keep local humans fed and supplied with timber and stockfeed, which may or may not be a good thing for the plant. They also assist in absorbing rainfall, which reaches them before filtering through to the roots of the plant. This is important for flowering and fruiting and general growth. They attract arborial creatures, including insects and birds, which assist in fertilization, and particularly with trees, especially deciduous species, cover the ground beneath them with a coating of mulch which holds in moisture and protects and feeds the tree, especially in times of drought or during winter seasons. ______________________________________________________________________
The leaves of a plant have three main functions: 1-They help in photosynthesis 2-They help the plant to respire(transpiration) 3-They store various food material
The primary function of plant leaves is to trap sunlight for photosynthesis. Solar energy is a vital component in the manufacture of a plant's food.
It makes the food for the plant.

A Cactus - it has a modified stem which produces flowers, but no leaves.
A Rose has leaves and flowers.
Usually stems hold flowers, leaves, and fruit on plants.
They are modified leaves
Determinate growth occurs when leaves and flowers grow to a set size.
Above ground system in plants consists of stem, leaves and flowers.
No. Neither the leaves or the flowers are poisonous.
A type of plant that has pink flowers and hairy leaves is called a Woodland Margin.
Bulbs store food during the growing season, allowing the plants to live after their flowers and above ground leaves and stems have died.
