Wet Leaf

In botany, a Wet Leaf is an above-ground plant organ specialized for the process of photosynthesis. To this end, a generally flat sheet (laminar) and thin. As an evolutionary, the flatness of the leaves to the chloroplasts are working on exposing more light and the absorption of carbon dioxide at the expense of water loss. was in Devon, such as carbon dioxide concentration at different times the current value, plants had no leaves or stalks flat. Many mosses are flat, the photosynthetic organs, but they are not true leaves. Neither of the microphylls lycophytes. The leaves of ferns, gymnosperms and angiosperms are described as mentioned macrophyll megaphylls or euphylls.

The Wet Leaf are also the sites in most plants where transpiration and Guttation place. Leaves can store food and water and in some plants adapted for other purposes. The comparable structures of ferns correctly referred to as slices. Moreover, leaves are prominent in the human diet as leaf vegetables.

A structurally complete Wet Leaf of angiosperms consists of a petiole (leaf stalk), a layer (lamina) and stipules (small processes located on either side of the base of the stem). The petiole attaches to the stem at the place called "armpit." Not all species produces leaves with all the above components. In some species, paired stipules are not obvious or absent. A leaf stalk may be missing, or the blade (smoothed) laminar. The enormous diversity of leaf structure (anatomy) the species is presented below in leaf morphology. At regular intervals (eg seasonally adjusted in autumn), deciduous trees shed their leaves. These leaves then decompose into the soil.
