When plants release water vapor into the atmosphere, it is called..
A
precipitation
B
sublimation
C
transpiration
D
photosynthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.

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: -Evaporation of water from the lenticels of the plants is known as lenticular transpiration.

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: -What is evaporation and transpiration in the water cycle? Evaporation is the process of surface water absorbing heat energy from the sun or from warm air and changing from a liquid to a gas. Transpiration is when water evaporates through plants.
