It contributes in the food making of plants. it gathers nutrients from the sunlight.
Another thing is that it makes the plant look attractive right? Edit by I Know It: I'm not an expert on this, just have some basic knowledge.

(This is why they're so essential to us, because they put oxygen back into the air which we breate.) And yes, the leaves do make the plant more attractive.
