The backbone of a leaf, often referred to as the midrib or central vein, provides structural support and stability. It contains vascular tissues, primarily xylem and phloem, which transport water, nutrients, and photosynthetic products throughout the leaf. This midrib is essential for maintaining the leaf's shape and facilitating its physiological functions.
