Detailed explanation-1: -It is the evaporation of water from the stomata of the plants. Most of the water from the plants is transpired this way. The water near the surface of the leaves changes into vapour and evaporates when the stomata are open.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transpiration is the conversion of water from liquid to gas as it passes through plant stomata, small openings on the undersides of leaves of vascular plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Evapotranspiration also includes transpiration, which is the water movement from the soil to the atmosphere via plants. Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transpiration occurs through stomata. Stomata are usually open during the day and close at night. When the stomata opens, the water near the surface of the leaves turns into vapour and evaporates. Stomata in succulents or CAM plants stay closed throughout the day and open only at night.

Detailed explanation-5: -Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.
