The milky white substance that comes out when a leaf of a rubber plant is plucked is called latex. Latex is a type of plant sap that contains various chemicals, including rubber particles, proteins, and water. It serves as a defense mechanism for the plant, helping to seal off wounds and protect against herbivores and pathogens. The latex in rubber plants is particularly important as it is the primary source of natural rubber production.
