the loss of water through evaporation

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.
Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is the evaporation of water through minute pores, or stomata, in the leaves of plants. For practical purposes, transpiration and the evaporation from all water, soils, snow, ice, vegetation, and other surfaces are lumped together and called evapotranspiration, or total evaporation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: The process of loss of water by a plant through leaves is called transpiration.
Detailed explanation-5: -Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the spongy mesophyll cells followed by the diffusion of water through the air spaces and out of the stomata .
