Alright, so "curly-leaved" is actually a really easy way to describe a certain type of plant. When we say a plant is "curly-leaved," we mean that its leaves are all wavy and twisted, kinda like they've got little curls in them. You know how when you have curly hair, it's all bouncy and swirly? It's kinda like that, but with leaves instead of hair.

You might have seen some plants with "curly-leaved" before, like parsley or kale. Their leaves have those interesting, ruffled edges that make them look extra fancy. But not all plants have "curly-leaved" – some have smooth, straight leaves, like lettuce or spinach. It's just a cool little way to describe a specific feature of certain plants.

So if you ever hear someone talking about a "curly-leaved" plant, you'll know that they're just talking about how its leaves look all twisty and wavy. It's a fun little way to describe nature's creativity!
