Summary Introduction
Introduction: Leaf is a part of the plant that is thin and flat. The primary function of leaf is photosynthesis. Blade is the broad and flat portion of a leaf. Petiole is the stalk that attaches the blade to the stem. The leaves that have a simple blade are called simple leaves and the leaves that have a blade divided into two or more than two leaflets are called compound leaves.

Moss Life Cycle (drawn by Stephanie Preising, SCSU '20) Obtain a gametophyte and observe its symmetry, its leaf like structures, its axis (pseudo- stem), and is rhizoids. Some species of mosses are unisexual; others are bisexual. The moss gametophyte originates as budlike structures that develop from a protonema (plural: protonemata), a system of branching filaments derived from a germinating spore.arrow_forward
