    flat, green structures on plants responsible for photosynthesis

    In the context of biology, "leaves" are the flat, typically green structures that grow from the stems of plants. They are primarily responsible for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy to produce food. Leaves contain chlorophyll, which captures light energy, and have stomata, small openings that regulate gas exchange.
