The leaves contain a pigment called chlorophyll, which colors the leaves green. Chlorophyll can make food the plant can use from carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and energy from sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis. During the process of photosynthesis, plants release oxygen into the air.

Plants store food in the form of starch(a polymeric carbohydrate consisting of a large number of glucose units joined by glycosidic bonds. This polysaccharide is produced by most green plants as energy storage.) in their leaves or in the modified roots such as potato. Many succulent plants store water and nutrients in modified leaves such as Aloe, ice plant, Sedums and some Agaves.
