Pavement cells in the leaf epidermis start out as simple polygons and develop into puzzle-shaped units with interlocking lobes. This complex geometry offers biomechanical advantages; interlocking increases resistance to tension and maintains the structural integrity of the leaf surface ([Malinowski
