Explanation
A leaf is the flat green part of a plant or tree. For example, the leaf fell from the tree. Leaves help plants make food from sunlight. A leaf can also mean a page in a book, though this use is less common, like he turned the leaf of the old book. As a verb, “to leaf through” means to look quickly through pages; for example, she leafed through the book.
