Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When water in the leaves of plants becomes water vapor in the atmosphere, that is called
A
condensation
B
evaporation
C
precipitation
D
transpiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Evapotranspiration also includes transpiration, which is the water movement from the soil to the atmosphere via plants. 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 the evaporation of water from plants occurring at the leaves while their stomata are open for the passage of CO2 and O2 during photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The water is released in the form of vapour. This process is called as transpiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -Stomatal Transpiration It is the evaporation of water from the stomata of the plants. Most of the water from the plants is transpired this way. The water near the surface of the leaves changes into vapour and evaporates when the stomata are open.
