Detailed explanation-1: -These tiny pores present in the leaves are known as stomata. They help in the exchange of gases and also give out water vapour through transpiration.
Detailed explanation-2: -stomate, also called stoma, plural stomata or stomas, any of the microscopic openings or pores in the epidermis of leaves and young stems. Stomata are generally more numerous on the underside of leaves.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stomata regulate gas exchange between the plant and environment and control of water loss by changing the size of the stomatal pore.
Detailed explanation-4: -Stomata (noun, “STO-mah-tah”, singular “stoma”) These are the small pores in plant stems or leaves that allow carbon dioxide in and oxygen and water vapor out.
