All living creatures need food to survive and grow, and plants are no exception. Unlike human beings and animals, plants make their food without moving anywhere. They are able to do so with the help of their leaves and roots in the presence of sunlight. This process of making food for themselves is known as photosynthesis in plants. Comprised of two words, “photo” meaning “light” and “synthesis” meaning “putting together,” photosynthesis is a chemical reaction that relies on some chemical reactants and stomata in the leaf for carrying out the entire process.
