Leaves are broad, thin and flat to provide a large surface area, to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. :)

Leaves are wide to maximize their surface area for capturing sunlight which is essential for photosynthesis. The larger surface area helps in the exchange of gases and water vapor needed for the plant's survival. The width of leaves also enables efficient absorption of water and nutrients from the environment.
leaves have a big surface area because then they can absorb all the possible light energy they can for photosynthesis.

Trees with wide, flat leaves include species like the sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), and catalpa tree (Catalpa speciosa). These trees are known for their broad, flat leaves that provide ample surface area for photosynthesis.
by curling them (:
The flat surface area of leaves are just because leaves have a function to perforn i.e. photosynthesis and the flat area increases the availability of sunlight which is a mandatory reuirement for the process.
it has a larger surface area the celery stalks with out leaves & surface area is an enzyme that speeds up the transpiration in the Xylem tubes

Leaf adaptations in wet and sunny habitat are mostly dependent on the surface area. Narrow leaves are ideal for dry areas which will limit the rate of transpiration while wide leaves adapt to wet habitats.
the surface area of LEAVES depends. Pine needles and cacti have small surface areas banana leaves, philodendron leaves, and other tropical plants have gigantic ones. it all depends on where the plants are endemic to.
