    The answer is spongy mesophyll.

    Explanation:

    Between the upper and lower epidermis of a leave, you can find the so called mesophyll tissue which is rich in chloroplasts. There are two types of mesophyll tissue: the palisade and the spongy mesophyll. Whereas the cells of the palisade mesophyll are tightly packed, the cells of the spongy mesophyll are loosely packed.
