Detailed explanation-1: -When the stomata are open, plants lose water vapour through them as well. The water vapour evaporates from the cells lining the air spaces and then passes out of the leaf through the stomata by diffusion. This loss of water vapour is known as transpiration.
Detailed explanation-2: -When the plant opens its stomata to let in carbon dioxide, water on the surface of the cells of the spongy mesophyll and palisade mesophyll evaporates and diffuses out of the leaf. This process is called transpiration .
Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is the evaporation of water from plants occurring at the leaves while their stomata are open for the passage of CO2 and O2 during photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Transpiration is the loss of water from the plant through evaporation at the leaf surface. It is the main driver of water movement in the xylem.
