Plants lose water through their leaves by which process?
A
Condensation
B
Evaporation
C
Precipitation
D
Transpiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transpiration is the process through which plants lose water through stomata. Stomata are usually present on the underside of the leaves. It is essentially evaporation of water from the leaves of the plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Most of the water a plant loses is lost due to a natural process called transpiration. Plants have little pores (holes or openings) on the underside of their leaves, called stomata. Plants will absorb water through their roots and release water as vapor into the air through these stomata.

Detailed explanation-4: -The water eventually is released to the atmosphere as vapor via the plant’s stomata-tiny, closeable, pore-like structures on the surfaces of leaves. Overall, this uptake of water at the roots, transport of water through plant tissues, and release of vapor by leaves is known as transpiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -Transpiration: The loss of water from the leaves of plants in the form of vapors is called transpiration. It occurs through the stomatal pores in the leaves.
