Control the opening and closing of the stomata.

Detailed explanation-1: -The opening and closing of stomatal pores is regulated by guard cells by increasing or decreasing the amount of water in them. When water enters the guard cells, they become turgid. This results in opening of stomata) pore. When water exits from the guard cells, they become flaccid.
Detailed explanation-2: -Upon the incoming of water inside the guard cells, they swell up to become like a curved banana surface, due to which the stomatal pore opens up. When the guard cells lose water, they become flaccid and straight and thus, close the stomatal aperture. Guard cells and stomata regulates the respiration process in plants.
Detailed explanation-3: -Guard cells are pairs of epidermal cells that control gas diffusion by regulating the opening and closure of stomatal pores.
Detailed explanation-4: -Guard cells are cells surrounding each stoma. They help to regulate the rate of transpiration by opening and closing the stomata.
