Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It does not prevent the exchange of gases. The gaseous exchange involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between plants and the environment. The loss of water and the exchange of gases occurs through stomata.
Detailed explanation-2: -This evolutionary innovation is so central to plant identity that nearly all land plants use the same pores-called stomata-to take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Stomata are tiny, microscopic and critical for photosynthesis.
