Answer:
Shade leaves
The large leaves of the shade shoot provide a larger area for trapping light energy for photosynthesis in a place where light levels are low. Plants subjected to low light intensity often grow rapidly producing long internodes (the part of the stem between each leaf).

The main factors that affect leaf shape are water and light needs. The plant needs a certain area of leaf to provide enough energy to live, so smaller leaves means more leaves(grasses), as opposed to one enormous leaf like a lilypad.
Generally, as light intensity increases water needs increase along with it. A thicker stem with a smaller leaf can support enough water flux to keep a grass blade hydrated in full sun, whereas a big tropical plant in high humidity has low water needs and can therefore use a thin stem to support a big leaf.
I would hypothesize that self-regulatory systems that affect leaf development as a function of available water and sunlight needs are responsible for the effect.
