If you've eaten a celery stalk, you've eaten a petiole, the part of some plants that connects the blade of a leaf to its stem. In terms of their function, petioles play an important part in photosynthesis. They are also responsible for the dramatic way deciduous trees lose their leaves in the fall.

Petiole Definition
The petiole is the stalk that supports a leaf in a plant and attaches it to the stem. Many people often call it a stem, which is incorrect. A stem is the part of the plant that serves as the main source of support and produces nodes and roots, and that’s not what we observe in petioles.
Petiole Function
Since leaves are responsible for fueling plants through photosynthesis, the petiole serves to transport the energy made in the leaf to the rest of the plant. It also serves to transport nutrients and water that are absorbed by the roots and passed up
Related Terms
Internode – The section of the plant stem that is found between two nodes.
Pedicle – The part of a plant that is attached to and supporting a single flower.
Lamina – The blade-shaped part of a leaf where transpiration and photosynthesis take place.
Stipule – A small attachment that can be found at the base of a petiole, resembling a leaf.
