Detailed explanation-1: -Stomata regulate gas exchange between the plant and environment and control of water loss by changing the size of the stomatal pore.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main functions of stomata are: Gaseous exchange-Stomatal opening and closure help in the gaseous exchange between the plant and surrounding. It helps in transpiration and removal of excess water in the form of water vapour. Stomatal closure at night prevents water from escaping through pores.
Detailed explanation-3: -They help in obtaining the carbon dioxide required for conducting photosynthesis. During the day, the stomata are open and the exchange of gases occurs while water is lost through the open pore.
Detailed explanation-4: -Closing and opening of stomata help in the exchange of gases between the plant its surrounding. It facilitates the entry of carbon dioxide into the plant and removal of oxygen from the plant. Carbon dioxide that enters the plant through stomata is a primary raw material for photosynthesis.
