Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -The process of transpiration keeps the cell turgid, cools the surface of the leaves, and helps in the movement of minerals from the soil to different parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
