D
roots

Detailed explanation-1: -The small pores present on leaves help plants take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen during the process of photosynthesis. These pores are called stomata.

Detailed explanation-2: -This evolutionary innovation is so central to plant identity that nearly all land plants use the same pores-called stomata-to take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Stomata are tiny, microscopic and critical for photosynthesis. Thousands of them dot on the surface of the plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stomata (noun, “STO-mah-tah”, singular “stoma”) These are the small pores in plant stems or leaves that allow carbon dioxide in and oxygen and water vapor out. Each tiny hole is surrounded by a pair of cells called guard cells.
