Detailed explanation-1: -Plants lose water through stomata present in their leaves. This process is called transpiration. This water escaping through the stomata becomes water vapor and takes part in the water cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is a process that involves loss of water vapour through the stomata of plants. The loss of water vapour from the plant cools the plant down when the weather is very hot, and water from the stem and roots moves upwards or is ‘pulled’ into the leaves.

Detailed explanation-4: -When the stomata are open, plants lose water vapour through them as well. The water vapour evaporates from the cells lining the air spaces and then passes out of the leaf through the stomata by diffusion. This loss of water vapour is known as transpiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -’It’s called’ is a contraction of ‘it is called’, which is passive voice. The subject is being called by someone else. This is often used to give the name of someone or something.
