Detailed explanation-1: -Water is lost by plants due to a process called transpiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Because there is a higher concentration of water vapor inside the leaf than outside, the water vapor moves out of the leaf through the stomata by diffusion. This process is known as evaporation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is the evaporation of water from plants occurring at the leaves while their stomata are open for the passage of CO2 and O2 during photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The process of losing water from leaves is known as transpiration. Let’s look at transpiration in a plant that’s easier to handle. The begonia plant, like most land plants, has more stomata on the underside of its leaf than on the top.
