Without being able to see the specific diagram you've referenced, I can provide a general explanation based on typical leaf structures that might be marked as "X."
If "X" refers to **stomata** (the small openings on the leaf surface), then the correct answer would be:
**It allows the intake of gasses necessary for photosynthesis.**
Stomata enable the exchange of gases, allowing carbon dioxide to enter the leaf for photosynthesis and oxygen to exit as a byproduct.
If X refers to something else (like chloroplasts or leaf tissue), please specify, and I can provide a tailored response.
