Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Water is lost by plants due to a process called transpiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transpiration is the evaporation of water from plants occurring at the leaves while their stomata are open for the passage of CO2 and O2 during photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because there is a higher concentration of water vapor inside the leaf than outside, the water vapor moves out of the leaf through the stomata by diffusion. This process is known as evaporation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transpiration: The loss of water from the leaves of plants in the form of vapors is called transpiration. It occurs through the stomatal pores in the leaves.
