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

Do stomata trap sunlight for photosynthesis?
No, stomata do not trap sunlight for photosynthesis. Stomata are tiny pores on the surface of leaves that regulate gas exchange, allowing carbon dioxide to enter the leaf and oxygen to exit. Photosynthesis occurs in specialized cells within the leaf called chloroplasts, where sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll to produce sugars.

Where are stomata generally most abundant in the majority of leaves?
On a dorsi-ventral leaf most of the stomata are found on the lower side of the leaf, that remains away from sunlight. On an iso-bilateral leaf stomata are present on both the sides, upper as well as lower.

What structure does oxygen and carbon dioxide move in and out of a leaf through?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide move in and out of a leaf through tiny openings called stomata. Stomata are located on the underside of the leaf and allow for gas exchange between the leaf and the surrounding atmosphere.
