Large leaf species live in wet habitats, while small ones live in dry/cold environments (water is scarce, so need to reduce evaporation)

Tall plants require thick stems for greater vascular flow and support (woody plants become thicker via secondary growth) - avoids shading from other plants

Tall plants w/ broad leaves for absorbing light and stomata for diffusion of CO2 → greater loss of water → need multicellular, branching roots for water absorption
