Question

Midrib is observed in which part of leaf?

• A. Leaf base
• B. Lamina
• C. Petiole
• D. Stipule

Answer 1

The correct option is B Lamina

• The leaf consists of the following parts-

1) Leaf blade (lamina) is the broad and flat part of the leaf where photosynthesis occurs is also known as epipodium.

• The midrib is the central prominent vein on the lamina which helps to transport water, minerals to different cells of the leaf.
  

2) Leaf base is the lowermost part of the leaf and is also known as hypopodium

3) The petiole is the stalk-like part of the leaf which connects the leaf blade to the stem.

• Stipule is a small flap-like structure which grows at the base of the petioles and protects the growing petioles or falls off.
  
• So, the correct answer is 'Lamina'.
