The leaf epidermis protects the upper and lower surfaces, akin to skin for the body. Veins transport water and nutrients, connecting leaves to stems and roots. Without leaves, a plant struggles to survive due to lack of photosynthesis. Stomata are tiny openings that facilitate gas exchange and water regulation. Inside the leaf, chloroplasts containing chlorophyll enable plants to convert sunlight into energy, giving them their green color. Explore the critical functions and components of a leaf to understand their importance in plant health.
