Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Opening and closing of stomata occur due to turgor changes in guard cells. When guard cells are turgid (swollen), the stomatal pore is open while in flaccid conditions, the stomatal aperture closes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Guard cells use osmotic pressure to open and close stomata, allowing plants to regulate the amount of water and solutes within them.
