Solution

Leaf apex:
The leaf apex is a projecting portion of the leaf where water droplets concentrate and separate during drainage.
The apexes of leaves vary greatly between plants and are useful in classification and identification.
Peepal tree leaves and twigs are smooth, lustrous, slightly leathery, and widely oval, tapering abruptly at the apex into a long tail, while the base is rounded or heart-shaped.
