Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A stoma is an opening on the abdomen that can be connected to either your digestive or urinary system to allow waste (urine or faeces) to be diverted out of your body. It looks like a small, pinkish, circular piece of flesh that is sewn to your body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stomata (singular stoma, from the Greek for “mouth”) are pores on the surface of the leaves and other aerial parts of most higher plants that allow uptake of CO2 for photosynthesis and the loss of water vapor from the transpiration stream.
