Leaves Are Parts of A Plant or Tree Attached To The Branches or Stems

- Leaves are parts of plants or trees attached to branches or stems. They perform important functions like respiration, transpiration, assimilation, and resorption. - The basic structures of a leaf include the petiole (leaf stalk), blade (lamina), and in some plants a sheath (vagina). Leaf textures can be coriaceous (thick like leather), membranous (thin and pliable), or other types. - Plant leaves exhibit a variety of forms, including complete structures with all parts, incomplete structures lacking some parts, and different ways leaves are borne on the plant.
