(d) silk cotton

Answer 1

Answer:

In acacia plant, petioles perform the function of photosynthesis

Explanation:

• Phyllode is a modified petiole for photosynthesis. It's a photosynthesis-capable leaf that's been tweaked.
• Petioles of leaves in Acacia plants are transformed into green vertical structures known as phyllodes. Because the leaves of Acacia are limited or missing, they carry out photosynthesis.
