Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which part of the human body is most similar to stomata in plants? The lungs and airways.

Detailed explanation-2: -Just like the process of exchange of gases takes place through the lungs in the animals, the plants have stomata to take out this process. The gas exchange in plants takes place through stomata, and the process is called diffusion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Scientists have discovered how plants create networks of air channels–the lungs of the leaf–to transport carbon dioxide (CO2) to their cells. Botanists have known since the 19th century that leaves have pores–called stomata–and contain an intricate internal network of air channels.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant leaves have openings (pores) known as a stomata where gasses can enter/exit the plant. Explain reasons why stomata are found on the bottom of leaves. It might be helpful to think of the comparable structure (nose) in humans and how its openings are oriented.
