How to use "Shade" in context?
Sunlight is the lifeblood of plants, providing the energy they need to grow and photosynthesize. While sunlight is essential for plants, too much exposure can be damaging. Plants evolved to use a variety of signals to protect themselves from damage, including producing protective layers called "shades".
Shades can be made from a variety of materials, including leaves, petals, and stems. They are often highly intricate and colorful, and serve a number of purposes for plants. First, they provide protection from the sun's harmful radiation.
