Answer
Yes, the broad flat shape helps leaves do photosynthesis more efficiently.

Explanation

  • A broad flat leaf has a large surface to catch sunlight.
  • More sunlight means more food can be made.
  • The flat shape also lets gases move in and out easily.
  • So this shape makes leaves good food factories.
A wide flat leaf catches more sunlight and makes more food.
