Second-placed Ipswich remain level on points with the Foxes, with Leeds a point further back ahead of their games on Saturday (local time), with all three clubs currently having four matches left.
Managerless Argyle climbed to 16th on the back of their first home win in seven matches. They are now five points clear of the bottom three.
It only took five minutes for Leicester to test home goalkeeper Michael Cooper as Abdul Fatawu's thumping right-footed shot forced him into a diving save low down to his left.
Ricardo Pereira was next to test Cooper, following a defence-splitting one-two with Wilfred Ndidi. Again it was all diving Cooper could do to parry the ball away.
Stephy Mavididi latched on to the aerial ball and headed it back across the goal, which resulted in a goal-mouth scramble and Argyle eventually clearing the ball.
Mavididi went close with a curling 13th-minute shot after being teed up by playmaker Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall on the edge of the box. The attacking midfielder's shot beat Cooper for pace but flew just past the post.
Totally against the run of play, Plymouth stunned the visitors with a 21st-minute goal on the counter-attack.
Adam Forshaw intercepted a Leicester attack and released recalled striker Bundu with a superb pass through the middle of the park.
Bundu sprinted forward and as he got into the penalty box he let fly with a fierce angled drive from the right that beat diving Mads Hermansen and rocketed into the far corner.
Harry Winks fired wide from 20 yards as Argyle failed to clear their lines following another City corner with the half-hour mark approaching.
Argyle's next best chance fell to Bundu, but this time the striker fired high over.
Cooper did well to save low at his near post as Dewsbury-Hall fired across the face of goal in the 44th minute from close range.
Cooper was again called into action early in the second half as he made another save, then Dewsbury-Hall tried his luck from 25 yards moments later.
Leicester continued to press for an equaliser in the second half, but the hosts held on for a much-needed victory.
