Answer
(i) Large surface area of the leaf enables maximum light absorption by plant. Increased absorption of solar energy increases the Photosynthesis.
(ii) Thinness of the leaf reduces the distance between cells facilitating rapid transport of raw materials and translocation of food.
(iii) More numerous stomata allow rapid gaseous exchange and speed up the process of photosynthesis.
