Botany Lesson Needed


Hi Everyone!

I have one Sunburst yellow squash planted in the corner of my SQFT bed.  The
thing is a monster.  The leaves are twice the size of the other squash plants
I have planted in another bed.

My question is this.....what function do the leaves play in a plant?  (Please
forgive this question if it is totally stupid?)  Are they converting the sun
into fruit production?  What will happen if I remove some of the leaves?

Thanks in advance for your kind words!
