Question

What are the function of the leaves in an onion and pictcher plant ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Typically these are thin, dry, stalkless, membranous structures, usually brownish in colour or sometimes colourless. Their function is to protect the axillary bud that they bear in their axil. Sometimes scale-leaves are thick and fleshy, as in/onion; then their function is to store up water and food.
