Question

Define leaf apex and what are its functions​

Answer 1

Answer:

On humid nights, when the plant is fully turgid as it is continuously absorbing water, without transpiring (as humidity decreases the rate of transpiration), Guttation takes place through the hydathodes at the apex of the leaves. Guttation is the exudation of water and other minerals in form of liquid.

Function⤵️

The leaf apex is a protruding part of a leaf where water droplets accumulate, and droplet separation occurs during drainage.
