cellular respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Case: Transpiration is the evaporative loss of water by plants. It occurs mainly through the stomata in the leaves. Besides the loss of water vapour in transpiration, exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the leaf also occurs through pores called stomata.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water mainly via stomatal openings. Transpiration occurs from aerial parts of the plants such as stems, leaves, and flowers. 90% of water transpired from the plant via stomatal pores present in leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Evapotranspiration: What it is and why it’s useful Overall, this uptake of water at the roots, transport of water through plant tissues, and release of vapor by leaves is known as transpiration. Water also evaporates directly into the atmosphere from soil in the vicinity of the plant.
