Getting rid of the excessive water allows the leaf to point upwards to collect more sunlight as well as preventing fungi and bacterial from forming on the leaves.  
This adaptation is especially useful in the tropical rain forest setting as there is high rainfall which also means that's high amount of excess water is collected on the leaves.
If the water drips into the soil, the roots of the plant can also get more water allowing the plant to thrive.]]> 2023-03-06 06:29:58 UTC https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/a2df94sddey9p52l/wish/2504660559 https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/a2df94sddey9p52l/wish/2504660584 they all grow partially above the soil surface, which enables them to take in oxygen directly from the air when they are exposed during low tide. they also help to anchor the mangrove plants to the soft soil, thus preventing them from being uprooted and washed away by the strong waves]]> 2023-03-06 06:30:00 UTC https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/a2df94sddey9p52l/wish/2504660584 https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/a2df94sddey9p52l/wish/2504660923 This is a mangrove tree.

We are able to find leaves such as broad leaves, waxy leaves, drip tip leaves. Broad leaves provide large surface area to absorb as much sunlight to make food.
