Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -How is transpiration important to the plants? The process of transpiration keeps the cell turgid, cools the surface of the leaves, and helps in the movement of minerals from the soil to different parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Through evaporative cooling, plant transpiration brings down the temperature of leaves, the largest plant organ. 4. Water balance in plants is also maintained by transpiration. Plants absorb a lot of water and transpiration is a means by which excess water is removed.

Detailed explanation-3: -transports mineral ions. cools the leaf as water evaporates. provides water that keeps the cells turgid, which supports herbaceous plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.

Detailed explanation-5: -Transpiration helps in the conduction of water and minerals to different parts of the plants. Due to the continuous elimination of water from the plant body, there is a balance of water maintained within the plant. It maintains osmosis and keeps the cells rigid.
