Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The loss of water from the leaves of plants as water vapour through the stomata is called as transpiration.
Detailed explanation-2: -Leaf stomata are the primary sites of transpiration and consist of two guard cells that form a small pore on the surfaces of leaves. The guard cells control the opening and closing of the stomata in response to various environmental stimuli and can regulate the rate of transpiration to reduce water loss.
Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.
