Detailed explanation-1: -Transpiration is the process in which water is lost as water vapor from the aerial parts of the plants through stomata. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from the leaves of the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Evapotranspiration includes water evaporation into the atmosphere from the soil surface, evaporation from the capillary fringe of the groundwater table, and evaporation from water bodies on land. Evapotranspiration also includes transpiration, which is the water movement from the soil to the atmosphere via plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is just a subset of the evaporation process, and it’s the water that is inside plants, and then when that evaporates and moves into the atmosphere, that process is called transpiration. And it’s very much part of the living processes of the plant.
