What is another word for midribs?
Pronunciation: [mˈɪdɹɪbz] (IPA) 
Midribs, also known as the central vein, are the primary structural component of leaves. While the term "midrib" is commonly used to refer to this part of a leaf, there are several other synonyms that can be used to describe it. Some of these synonyms include the leaf axis, rachis, or petiole. The leaf axis refers to the stem-like structure that the midrib is attached to, while the rachis is a specific term used to describe the main axis of a compound leaf. Petiole, on the other hand, refers to the part of the stem that attaches the leaf to the plant. All these synonyms are useful for describing the midrib and its role in supporting and transporting nutrients throughout the leaf.
