What are the veins in plants called?
The vein xylem transports water from the petiole throughout the lamina mesophyll, and the phloem transports sugars out of the leaf to the rest of the plant.
What is the main function of veins in a leaf?
#Function of veins in leaf: -Veins provide support for the leaf and transport both water and minerals (via xylem) and food energy (via phloem) through the leaf and on to the rest of the plant.
What is vein density?
One important trait of the network is vein density, the total length of the leaf vein per unit area, which is a crucial index among the functional traits of the vein networks (Nardini et al., 2003).
