Water and minerals from the soil are absorbed by the plant's roots and transported through the xylem in the leaf veins. Additionally, the phloem in the leaf veins carries sugars and other organic nutrients produced during photosynthesis to other parts of the plant. This dual transport system is essential for the plant's growth and energy distribution.
Carbon dioxide enters leaves through small openings called stomata, not through the veins. Once inside the leaf, carbon dioxide moves to the mesophyll cells where photosynthesis takes place, converting carbon dioxide into sugars with the help of sunlight.
Stomata
The chloroplasts in the leaves absorb the light directly from the sun. The carbon dioxide goes into the leaves through the stomata (tiny holes on the bottom of a leaf) and is diffused through the rest of the cells. The water is absorbed by the roots then carried by the xylem up to the leaf and the cells in the leaf.
Water enters a leaf through the roots and travels through the stem to reach the leaves. Carbon dioxide enters a leaf through tiny pores called stomata on the underside of the leaf. Once inside the leaf, both water and carbon dioxide are used in the process of photosynthesis to produce glucose and oxygen.
The patten of veins on a dicot leaf are called netted veins. With netted veins, several main veins begin near the base of the leaf and radiate outward.
The Veins in the leaf
Carbon dioxide enters leaves through small openings called stomata, not through the veins. Once inside the leaf, carbon dioxide moves to the mesophyll cells where photosynthesis takes place, converting carbon dioxide into sugars with the help of sunlight.
Veins
The fine network of lines on the undersurface of a leaf are called Veins. The water and minerals go to every part of the leaf through these Veins.
Through the stem.
Stomata
The placement of the veins in a leaf can limit the effects of photosynthesis and transport water through the leaf and plant body. The location of the veins and the shape of the leaf are two of the factors used to determine the species of the plant.
Stomata
There are many advantages of having a network of veins in a leaf, Firstly there are a strong network of veins which support the lamina. Vascular bundles (veins) are made os vessels and sieve tubes which is advantageous, becausen it allows substances to pass through the leafy system. The veins help the leaf to move water and food through the xylem and phloem tissues.

The oxygenated blood first enters the capillaries, then they carry the blood through other veins to the rest of the body.
