Leaves don't block each other primarily due to their arrangement on the stem, known as phyllotaxy, which optimizes light capture. This arrangement typically allows for a staggered positioning that maximizes exposure to sunlight while minimizing shading of lower leaves. Additionally, the flexible nature of leaves enables them to move in response to light, further reducing overlap and ensuring efficient photosynthesis.

Why is it important that the leaves on a stem are arranged so they do not overlap too much?

Well think about it! Plants need sunlight to produce energy for themselves and grow. The leaves absorb the sunlight,thus, other leaves don't shade other leaves, cause all the leaves need sunlight. P.S. I'm not too sure if all plants arrange their leaves that way, you may want to check your sources.
