How do leaves provide food for a plant?

Plants make food in their leaves. The leaves contain a pigment called chlorophyll, which colors the leaves green. Chlorophyll can make food the plant can use from carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and energy from sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Plants make food in their leaves. The leaves contain a green pigment (chlorophyll) which colors the leaves green. Chlorophyll makes sugar the plant can use (as plants are made of large chains of sugar molecules) from carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and energy from sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis.
