What is the difference between stems and leaves?
AndreaRebollargp0534
Stems provide support to the plant and raise the foliage canopy above the ground for optimal photosynthesis; additionally they contain the conductive tissues xylem and phloem which transport water and food products throughout the plant.
The leaves are systems which are optimized to capture light, they are thin, flat and have a high surface area; they have a high concentration of chlorophyll within the cells of the epidermis in order to facilitate the production of food products via photosynthesis.
