it traps sunlight for photosynthesis
Yes because they are both plant cells. The Leaf Cell has larger chloroplasts.
Chloroplasts are found in plants and are contained in all cells of the plant. They are responsible for photosynthesis.
Feature
a leaf palisade cell
In a leaf, the cells that contain chloroplasts are primarily the mesophyll cells, which are divided into palisade and spongy mesophyll. The palisade mesophyll, located beneath the upper epidermis, contains tightly packed chloroplasts for efficient photosynthesis. In contrast, the epidermal cells, which form the outer layer of the leaf, typically do not contain chloroplasts and serve to protect the leaf and minimize water loss.

root hair cells dont have chloroplasts
Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells. They contain the green pigment called chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight. The chloroplasts use the sunlight energy to make food (sugar) for the plant. Chloroplasts are found mainly in the leaf cells in plants. Cells in the top half of the leaf, called palisade cells, have many chloroplasts. Cells in the bottom half of the leaf, called spongy cells, have fewer chloroplasts. Not all plant cells contain chloroplasts. For example cells inside the stem, and root cells, usually lack chloroplasts. Also the 'skin' cells (epidermis) on the leaves do not contain chloropasts.

the chloroplasts aren't a part of the actual leaf. they are individual organelles found in the cytoplasm of a cell.
