Small openings in the epidermis that allows oxygen, water, and carbon dioxide to enter and leave are called
A
palisade layer
B
roots
C
stomata
D
guard cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stomata are tiny openings or pores in plant tissue that allow for gas exchange. Stomata are typically found in plant leaves but can also be found in some stems. Specialized cells known as guard cells surround stomata and function to open and close stomatal pores.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stomata resemble doughnuts-a circular pore with a hole in the middle for gas to enter or leave the plant. The pore consists of two cells-each known as a guard cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stomata are cell structures in the epidermis of tree leaves and needles that are involved in the exchange of carbon dioxide and water between plants and the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -Conclusion: Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through stomata.

Detailed explanation-5: -On the underside of leaves and elsewhere, depending on the plant, are tiny openings called stomata-thousands of them per leaf with variations by plant species. Like little castle gates, pairs of cells on the sides of the stomatal pore-known as guard cells-open their central pore to take in the carbon dioxide.
