Abstract

When thinking of plants, the color green inevitably comes to mind. As perhaps the most noticeable and easily recognizable part of the natural world, leaves decorate the world green. If you take a close look at the plants in your yard or on your street, it is likely that you will not find two that are exactly the same. This is largely thanks to the enormous amount of diversity that exists in leaf shapes, textures, and even colors! All leaves share general characteristics that we will review in this article, but some have taken on special abilities. Some leaves are modified to look like flowers, others are modified to help the plant climb, to protect the plant from potential threats, or even to act as insect traps. We want to share with you the extraordinary world of leaves: keep reading, and you will learn the many shapes, structures, and incredible functions of leaves.
