Solution

The structure that would be absent in a palmately compound leaf is the Rachis.

Here's why:

  1. In a palmately compound leaf, the leaflets are attached at a common point at the end of the petiole, similar to the fingers on the palm of a hand.

  2. The petiole is the stalk that joins a leaf to the stem of the plant. It is present in both simple and compound leaves, including palmately compound leaves.

  3. Leaflets are the individual "small leaves" that make up a compound leaf. They are present in palmately compound leaves.

  4. Veins are the vascular structures that transport water and nutrients within the leaf. They are present in all types of leaves, including palmately compound leaves.

  5. The rachis, on the other hand, is the extension of the petiole that runs between the leaflets in a pinnately compound leaf. In a palmately compound leaf, there is no rachis because the leaflets all connect directly to the end of the petiole.
