Which plant part carries out the process of photosynthesis?
Leaf
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants make food (glucose) from carbon dioxide and water using sunlight, releasing oxygen: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
It takes place mainly in the leaves, whose mesophyll cells are packed with chloroplasts containing chlorophyll; stomata on the leaf allow carbon dioxide to enter.
Roots absorb water and minerals, the stem conducts them and supports the plant, and flowers are reproductive organs.
Hence, the answer is Leaf.
