Transpiration is the loss of water through leaves by evaporation
A
False
B
True
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transpiration is the loss of water by plants through evaporation. It mainly occurs through the stomata in the leaves. Water is transient in plants. In photosynthesis and plant growth, less than one percent of the water reaching the leaves is used and most of it is lost through the stomata during transpiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Transpiration is just a subset of the evaporation process, and it’s the water that is inside plants, and then when that evaporates and moves into the atmosphere, that process is called transpiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct option is A True. Transpiration: It is a biological process of water loss in the form of water vapor from the stomatal openings on the aerial parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -Transpiration is the process through which plants lose water through stomata. Stomata are usually present on the underside of the leaves. It is essentially evaporation of water from the leaves of the plants.
