Where Would You Expect a Plant with the Largest Leaves

Question

Where would you expect a plant with the largest leaves to grow?
A) in sunny conditions
B) in shady sites
C) in dry conditions
D) in very sandy soils

Accepted Answer

Plants with the largest leaves are usually found in shady sites where they have access to ample moisture and protection from excessive sunlight. In shady conditions, there tends to be less competition for light, so plants can allocate more resources towards leaf growth. Additionally, larger leaves provide more surface area for photosynthesis, which is important in low-light environments.
