Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Stomata are pores constituted by two cells called: Guard cells. Guard cells are hydraulic valves making possible stomata closure and opening. Stomata open or close depending on different factors: Light intensity, light quality, temperature, leaf water status, and intracellular CO2.
Detailed explanation-2: -In angiosperms, passive inflation of epidermal cells at high water potential pushes back on guard cells, causing stomata to close rather than open.
