Wikipedia
Palisade cell
Palisade cells are plant cells located on the leaves, right below the epidermis and cuticle that is the outermost layer of the leaf. In simpler terms, they are known as leaf cells. Palisade means "stake" in Latin, they are vertically elongated and are stacked side by side, a different shape from the spongy mesophyll cells beneath them. The chloroplasts in these cells absorb a major portion of the light energy used by the leaf. Palisade cells occur in dicotyledonous plants, and also in the net-veined Monocots, the Araceae and Dioscoreaceae.

Palisade cell
Palisade cells are cells found within the mesophyll in leaves of dicotyledonous plants. They contain the largest number of chloroplasts per cell, which makes them the primary site of photosynthesis in the leaves of those plants that contain them, converting the energy in light to the chemical energy of carbohydrates. Their cylindrical shape allows a large amount of light to be absorbed by the chloroplasts. These cells are positioned near the top surfaces of the leaves, underneath the epidermis. Beneath the palisade mesophyll are the spongy mesophyll cells, which also perform photosynthesis. They are irregularly-shaped cells that having many intercellular spaces that allow the passage of gases, such as the carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis to take place.
