Question

What is a variegated leaf?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Variegation is the appearance of differently coloured zones in the leaves, and sometimes the stems, of plants. Species with variegated individuals are sometimes found in the understory of tropical rainforests, and this habitat is the source of a number of variegated house plants.

Answer 2

$\red\implies$The term, "variegated" is applied a leaf that has more than one color.

$\red\implies$The green part of such a leaf contains chlorophyll but the white part of such a leaf does not contain chlorophyll. The leaves which are partly green and partly white are called 'variegated leaves'.
