Here's why:
* Organ: An organ is a group of tissues working together to perform a specific function. Leaves are made up of different tissues, including:
* Epidermis: The outer layer that protects the leaf.
* Mesophyll: The middle layer with cells containing chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
* Vascular bundles: The veins that transport water and nutrients.
* Stomata: Tiny pores that allow for gas exchange.
* Function: The primary function of a leaf is photosynthesis, the process of converting sunlight into energy. Leaves also contribute to transpiration (releasing water vapor) and gas exchange.
