Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Evapotranspiration: What it is and why it’s useful Overall, this uptake of water at the roots, transport of water through plant tissues, and release of vapor by leaves is known as transpiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is a process that involves loss of water vapour through the stomata of plants. The loss of water vapour from the plant cools the plant down when the weather is very hot, and water from the stem and roots moves upwards or is ‘pulled’ into the leaves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants release excess water from their body through stomata and some other parts. The water is released in the form of vapour. This process is called as transpiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -Transpiration is the process of water vapor being released from plants and soil. Plants release water vapor through microscopic pores called stomata.
