It absorbs light. Light energy is used to make food from carbon dioxide and water. A waxy waterproof layer protects the surface of the leaf. Veins carry substances in and out of the leaf. Gases enter and leave the leaf through tiny holes called stomata. • 5 Chief Kinds of Plants found in the plant kingdom. 1. seed plants 2. ferns 3. lycopsids 4. horsetails, 5. bryophytes.
