Dear friend
The leaves are thin and flat so that they can be more exposed towards sunlight for absorption of light and carbon dioxide. This results in increased photosynthesis.
The veins are formed by the dense network of xylem and phloem. Xylem is responsible for supplying water which is an important raw material for photosynthesis. Phloem helps to remove sugars produced by the process of photosynthesis. The veins also provides larger surface area to distribute the pressure applied on leaves thereby helps in locating nutrients to tissues during an injury.

We are asked to explain why leaves are thin and flat and well-supplied with veins. The reason for this is that the leaves are responsible for the purpose of photosynthesis.
- The leaves are flat and thin as they can be more exposed to sunlight which they require for photosynthesis.
- Along with the sunlight, the leaves also help in the absorption of carbon dioxide which helps the plants to breathe.
- The veins are well supplied with veins which is a dense network of xylem and phloem.
- The xylem is essential for supplying water which is required for photosynthesis.
- Phloem helps to remove the sugar or starch that is produced by the process of photosynthesis.
- The veins also have a larger surface area in order to distribute the pressure applied to the leaves and this helps in locating the tissues and nutrients.
