Question

Is tulsi a compound leaf?

Answer 1

Simple leaf:

1. A simple leaf is a single leaf that cannot be divided into any other smaller unit or leaflet
2. Leaf base- the enlarged region where the stem and leaf meet is known as the leaf base.
3. Stipules- The stipule's position varies depending on the plant's species. However, these tiny bud-like structures are typically found close to the leaf base.
4. Petiole- The component that attaches leaves to stems is called a petiole. Petioles on plants can be small, long, or absent.
5. Leaf Blade or Lamina- Lamina or leaf blade refers to the green, extended portion of a leaf. Mesophyll, which aids in photosynthesis, is present in this area.

No, tulsi is not a compound leaf. It is a simple leaf.
