Why is it feminine?

Hojas is feminine because it derives from Latin "folium," which was a neuter noun, but when Romance languages evolved, many Latin neuter nouns were reassigned to the feminine gender (often because their plural forms in -a resembled feminine patterns), making "hoja" feminine in Spanish. This is a common pattern rather than an exception, as most Spanish nouns ending in -a are feminine.
