Real World Example
Imagine trying to find the best spot in your house to get a strong Wi-Fi signal. Just like you position yourself in the room where the signal is strongest for optimal internet speed, plants have a specific layer of cells called the palisade mesophyll where most photosynthesis occurs. This layer, located just under the leaf's epidermis, is like the spot with the best Wi-Fi, as it captures the most light, allowing the plant to efficiently produce the energy it needs, much like you need a strong signal to browse the web effectively.
