Why does fall plant shed their leaves?
Leaf shedding is an example of self-protection in plants. They have thin leaves and are vulnerable to cold weather. The cold weather freezes the moisture present in the leaves which could result in cell rupture which would further make these leaves incapable of photosynthesis.
The plant needs to transfer the minerals as well as food to the leaves even though they are incapable of photosynthesis. This would use up more energy than required, hence trees shed their leaves to protect themselves through the whole season.
