Im quoting a paragraph that I read from where my questions arises:................... "Macro photography often has an extremely shallow depth of field, so sacrificing some resolution is usually acceptable. With digital SLR cameras, aperture settings of f/11-f/16 provide a good trade-off between depth of field and resolution, but f/22+ is often necessary for extra (but softer) depth of field."

Yes. What is a "diffraction limit"? explains why although I can see why you would not be able to find that if you did not know the term "diffraction limit" already.
