Because it contains air spaces that help regulate gas exchange in leaves.
The type of plant tissue that contains cells with many chloroplasts is called mesophyll. Mesophyll is primarily found in the leaves and is responsible for photosynthesis. It consists of two layers: the palisade mesophyll, which has tightly packed cells with numerous chloroplasts for efficient light absorption, and the spongy mesophyll, which has more air spaces to facilitate gas exchange.
Palisade mesophyll... because that is where the energy from the sun is trapped, therefore the plant needs to have many chloroplasts in order to capture the light energy. The palisade cells are long and wide in order to increase the surface area of contact with the sun..
Chloroplasts are found in plant cells, primarily in the cytoplasm near the cell wall. They are also present in some algae and protists, where they play a crucial role in photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy for the cell.
The plant contains chloroplasts in many of its cells. These chloroplasts are the sites of photosynthesis.
The two types of photosynthetic mesophyll are -- (i) Palisade cells which are vertically elongated cylindrical cells and (ii) Spongy mesophyll cells that are spherical green cells.
the chloroplasts aren't a part of the actual leaf. they are individual organelles found in the cytoplasm of a cell.

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 palisade layer of cells is tightly packed, like a brick wall, and contains the greatest concentration of chloroplasts in the leaf. The spongy mesophyll is loosely packed, containing many air spaces between the cells. The mesophyll contains vascular bundles and fewer chloroplasts than the palisade. Simply put, the palisade's main purpose is photosynthesis, and the spongy's gas exchange.
chloroplasts are in the plant cells.there are some other cells contain them too.
Palisade mesophyll cells are tall and closely packed to absorb maximum light. They contain many chloroplasts. Most photosynthesis takes place in the palisade cells. Spongy mesophyll also captures light and makes food.

There are many cells. Every prokariyotic cells,animal cells,fungi cells and many protista lack them
