How do leaves help a plant to grow?

Answer 1

By photosynthesis.

Thank you. Chlorophyll helps transport food through the phloem, which stores food materials for the plants' future growth and development. Chlorophyll is found in large quantities in the cells of green leaves, which are the sites of photosynthetic activity. The synthesized glucose from photosynthesis is converted into starch and translocated into various body parts of plants.

In addition to transpiring water, which aids in temperature regulation and nutrient transportation throughout the plant, leaves photosynthesise, converting carbon dioxide and sunlight into glucose, which is utilized as energy for the growth and development of the plant.
