The process of evaporation of water from aerial parts of the plants like leaves, stems, and flowers is known as ‘transpiration’.
A
False
B
True
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transpiration is a process by which the excess water is lost from aerial parts of the plants, mainly through the stomatal openings of leaves, in the form of water vapour.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Transpiration is basically evaporation of water from plant leaves.

Detailed explanation-5: -transpiration, in botany, a plant’s loss of water, mainly through the stomata of leaves. Stomatal openings are necessary to admit carbon dioxide to the leaf interior and to allow oxygen to escape during photosynthesis.
