What is the function of the leaf?
The leaf helps a plant to make food. Water goes through the stem to get to the leaf. The leaf takes in carbon dioxide through oh-so-very tiny holes and takes in energy from sunlight. The leaf will use this to make food. Oxygen is a byproduct of the food making process of the plant. It comes out of oh-so-very tiny holes that are similar to the ones that carbon dioxide comes in. Hope that this information helps you.
