Parallel Venation

Parallel venation is a leaf pattern where veins run side by side, like lines on a notebook. It's common in monocot plants, such as grasses. This pattern helps distribute water and nutrients evenly for efficient photosynthesis.

Midrib

The midrib of a leaf is the central vein that runs down the middle of the leaf. It provides structural support and helps transport water and nutrients throughout the leaf. The midrib also houses the vascular tissue that connects to smaller veins, distributing these essentials to the leaf's cells.
