Detailed explanation-1: -The opening and closing of stomata are controlled by specialized cells called guard cells. The turgor pressure in the guard cells controls the opening and closing of the guard cells. Stomatal pores open when guard cells enlarge as a result of water absorption and close when guard cells shrink.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -A pair of guard cells surrounds each stoma, and these cells control the opening and closing of the stomatal pore between them. Guard cells regulate this opening and closing in response to a wide variety of environmental signals, such as day/night rhythms, CO2 availability, and temperature.
