Answer:
Function of leaves is to provide food for the whole plant ...
Leaves are those parts of plants that perform the functions of photosynthesis and transpiration.
More to know :-
➪ Photosynthesis - The process by which plants make their own food using chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight is known as photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is a green pigment present in the leaves of plants. This pigment captures the sun’s energy, which is used to prepare food from carbon dioxide and water.
The equation for photosynthesis is -
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
_______________________________
➪ Transpiration - Transpiration is the process by which excess water in plants is lost to the atmosphere in the form of water vapour through tiny pores present on the surface of the leaf called stomata.
