'''Leaf'''

A '''leaf''' is an organ of a vascular plant and is the principal lateral appendage of the stem.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Esau |first1=Katherine |title=Anatomy of seed plants |date=1977 |publisher=Wiley |isbn=978-0-471-24520-9 |page=78}}</ref> The leaves and stem together form the shoot.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Fahn |first1=Abraham |title=Plant anatomy |date=1990 |publisher=Pergamon |isbn=978-0-08-036983-8 |page=68}}</ref> Leaves are collectively referred to as foliage, as in "autumn foliage".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/foliage |title=Foliage |publisher=Merriam-Webster Dictionary |access-date=2018-04-18}}</ref>

==Structure==
A typical leaf or ''phyllode'' has a broad expanded blade (also called the lamina), which is attached to the plant stem by a petiole.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Esau |first1=Katherine |title=Anatomy of seed plants |date=1977 |publisher=Wiley |isbn=978-0-471-24520-9 |page=78}}</ref>

==Function==
Leaves are the site where most photosynthesis takes place in plants.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Taiz |first1=Lincoln |title=Plant Physiology and Development |date=2015 |publisher=Sinauer |isbn=978-1-60535-255-8 |page=172}}</ref>

==Types of leaves==
There are many different types of leaves. They can be classified in many different ways, including by their shape, their edge, their pattern of venation, and by their arrangement on the stem.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Hickey |first1=Michael |title=The Cambridge Illustrated Glossary of Botanical Terms |date=2001 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0-521-79401-5 |page=152}}</ref>
