Detailed explanation-1: -Evapotranspiration is the sum of all processes by which water moves from the land surface to the atmosphere via evaporation and transpiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nearly 3 billion trees act as giant pumps, sucking water up through their deep roots and releasing it through their leaves, a process known as transpiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process by which plants transport water from their roots through their stems to small pores on the underside of their leaves from which the water is converted to vapour and released is called transpiration. Plants release water vapour into the atmosphere through the process of transpiration.
