Hey mate here is the answer.
This procedure kills a leaf, disrupts the cell membranes and softens the cuticle and cell walls. This makes it possible to extract the chlorophyll with hot ethanol and also allows the iodine solution to penetrate the cells and react with any starch present.
Hope it will help you
