Maple leaves are the foliage of the maple tree, known for their distinctive shape, which typically features five lobes. These leaves are usually green during the growing season but can turn vibrant shades of red, orange, or yellow in the fall, making them popular for their beauty. The maple tree is found in many regions, particularly in North America and parts of Asia. Maple leaves are not only important for the tree's photosynthesis but also play a role in the ecosystem by providing habitat and food for various wildlife species.
