What is the release of water vapor from leaves of plants to cool plants down?
A
Transpiration
B
Photosynthesis
C
Respiration
D
Translocation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plant transpiration is generally an invisible process as the water from the exiting the leaves evaporates quickly. The temperature inside the bag will increase with heating from the sun. However, the water vapor will condense back into water as it comes in contact with the bag’s surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is the process in which plant roots absorb water and then release the water in the form of vapour through the leaves. Transpiration is an important factor in the water cycle as it is one of the major sources of water into the atmosphere.
