In the context of a plant leaf's cross section, if the structure marked "X" refers to the stomata, then the statement "It allows the intake of gasses necessary for photosynthesis" would be correct. Stomata are small openings on the surface of leaves that facilitate gas exchange, allowing carbon dioxide to enter the leaf for photosynthesis while also permitting the release of oxygen. This is crucial for the plant's survival as photosynthesis is a key process for energy production.
The diagram below shows a cross section of a plant leaf. How does the structure marked X contribute to the survival of the plant? (SC.912.L.14.7)
