Chapter 34, Problem 9TYU
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Leaf is a part of the plant that is thin and flat. The primary function of leaf is photosynthesis. Blade is the broad and flat portion of a leaf. Petiole is the stalk that attaches the blade to the stem. The leaves that have a simple blade are called simple leaves and the leaves that have a blade divided into two or more than two leaflets are called compound leaves.
