Detailed explanation-1: -Evapotranspiration also includes transpiration, which is the water movement from the soil to the atmosphere via plants. Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transpiration is another important part of the water cycle. Transpiration is the process of water vapor being released from plants and soil.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The two properties of water that assist in the transpiration process are cohesion and adhesion. During cohesion, water adheres to other molecules, such as the cellulose in the walls of the xylem. During adhesion, water adheres to itself. During transpiration, water evaporates from the leaves through the stomata.

Detailed explanation-5: -The water then moves up the plant and evaporates from the leaves in a process called transpiration. The process of transpiration, like evaporation, returns water back into the atmosphere. The water cycle.
