The main vein of a leaf, known as the midrib, carries water, nutrients, and sugars between the leaf and other parts of the plant. It contains vascular tissues, specifically xylem and phloem, which facilitate the transport of water and dissolved minerals from the roots and the distribution of photosynthesized sugars throughout the plant. Additionally, the midrib provides structural support to the leaf.
