Leaves are broad and flat so that they can absorb large amounts of light energy from the sun, which is needed in order for photosynthesis (the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose) to occur. The green colour signifies the fact that the plant contains chlorophyll, which is a pigment needed to trap light energy.
