Answer:
The leaves have a green pigment called chlorophyll which helps leaves to capture the energy of the sunlight and to synthesis food. Other parts of the plants do not have chlorophyll therefore they are unable to synthesise food.

Answer:
The speciality of leaves that make it possible to synthesise food is the presence of a pigment known as chlorophyll (the green pigment). The chlorophyll has the ability to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (which is food) in presence of sunlight, this process is called photosynthesis. If green pigment is present in any other part like the young stem then they also perform photosynthesis.
