Solution

Leaf:

  1. A leaf is the flattened green outgrowth from the plant's stem and is the primary site of photosynthesis.
  2. When the tree is at rest, the leaves are also at rest.
  3. When the tree is vigorously shaken, the tree is in motion while the leaves are at rest, due to inertia.
  4. The force acts on the leaves in changing directions and results in the leaves detaching from the trees.
