The palisade layer of the leaf consists of orderly arranged cells. The palisade layer contains most of the chloroplast in the cell. Also the ordered arrangement of the cells minimises the cell wall, thus facilitating maximum absorption of light, needed for photosynthesis.he palisade layer of the leaf consists of orderly arranged cells.
