Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Leaf stomata are the primary sites of transpiration and consist of two guard cells that form a small pore on the surfaces of leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stomatal Transpiration 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-3: -It can happen anywhere there is water – in the soil, lakes, oceans and plants. When it occurs in plants, water is lost through microscopic pores in the plant’s leaves (stomata). This process is called transpiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transpiration is a process by which plants lose water to the atmosphere in the form of water vapour. This is carried out by the small pores present on the underside of the leaves.
