The leaf has a stem that attaches the leaf to the plant. The petiole (the stalks that joins a leaf to a stem) is extended into the leaf and divides equally into two. The leaf has an unknown line going through the leaf like a bunch of scribbles making it seem as if an insect has left its trial on it. Chlorophyll is definitely present in the leaf giving off the green color as it absorbs light energy.The leaf is very long with a bunch of veins through it. The structure of the leaf on the outside is very spiky. There’s a minor cut on the bottom of the leaf not going all the way to the stem but close enough. The leaf feels very smooth but can feel the veins the make the leaf. The bottom of the stem is very thick because its ripped off the plant. It has a small brown patch near the base of the leaf. The leaf is 18.5 cm long. The width of the leaf varies anywhere from 1-5cm wide. The leaf has parallel margins meaning a mirror image. It portrays a long line with spikes coming out in the center probably known as the midrib.

The topic sentence suggests
The topic sentence suggests that the paragraph is only about the stem. Maybe revise the topic sentence so it provides a license for the what the paragraph is about.
You are correct. I realize my
You are correct. I realize my title is not so what is has to do with my observations.
Analysis of a Leaf
I liked your description of the leaf. But I think it would be helpful to speak about the leaf in terms of sides (left or right) or in quadrants. I am interested in getting a better visual image of the leaf.
More precise language
When you describe the petiole as extending into the leaf, it may be useful to give landmarks, such as "it extends from the base of the leaf to the tip"
Some Restructuring and Consistency Issues
the topic sentance isnt present
"The leaf has a stem that attaches the leaf to the plant"
That is a description of the leaf, perhaps a sentance introducing the leaf might be helpful.
I really like the explanation here, I personally like to use them for abbreviations " The petiole (the stalks that joins a leaf to a stem) "
but then you lose that method here " The leaf has parallel margins meaning a mirror image"
and while they may not be used for the exact same purpose, definition vs meaning, it may be better to revise one or the other to be in the same format for a bit of consistancy
