Detailed explanation-1: -The water eventually is released to the atmosphere as vapor via the plant’s stomata-tiny, closeable, pore-like structures on the surfaces of leaves. Overall, this uptake of water at the roots, transport of water through plant tissues, and release of vapor by leaves is known as transpiration.

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: -And water vapor gets into the atmosphere from plants, too, which is called transpiration. Because air is cooler at higher altitude in the troposphere, water vapor cools as it rises high in the atmosphere and transforms into water droplets by a process called condensation. The water droplets that form make up clouds.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
