Point out the differences in the anatomy of the leaf of peepal $(Ficus \text{ } religiosa)$ and maize $(Zea \text{ } mays)$. Describe the key anatomical differences.

(N/A) The leaf of peepal $(Ficus \text{ } religiosa)$ is a dicot leaf, while the leaf of maize $(Zea \text{ } mays)$ is a monocot leaf. The key differences are as follows:
$1$. Stomata: In dicot leaves (peepal), stomata are generally present more on the abaxial surface. In monocot leaves (maize), stomata are present on both the adaxial and abaxial surfaces.
$2$. Mesophyll: In dicot leaves, the mesophyll is differentiated into palisade parenchyma and spongy parenchyma. In monocot leaves, the mesophyll is not differentiated and consists of similar cells.
$3$. Bulliform cells: These are absent in dicot leaves but are present in the adaxial epidermis of monocot leaves (maize) to help in leaf rolling during water stress.
$4$. Vascular bundles: Dicot leaves show reticulate venation, resulting in vascular bundles of different sizes. Monocot leaves show parallel venation, resulting in vascular bundles of similar sizes.
