Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stomata are small pores present on epidermal cells . The main functions of stomata are: Exchange of gases (respiration in plants) Transpiration (loss of water in the form of water vapour)

Detailed explanation-2: -Transpiration through stomata, creates a water potential within the plant, which in turn, favors the passive water absorption in the roots, which will then be transported throughout the plant by the Xylem.

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.
