Detailed explanation-1: -6.2 Transpiration within a leaf effect. Transpiration is a process that involves loss of water vapour through the stomata of plants. The loss of water vapour from the plant cools the plant down when the weather is very hot, and water from the stem and roots moves upwards or is ‘pulled’ into the leaves.
Detailed explanation-2: -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 the process in which water is lost as water vapor from the aerial parts of the plants through stomata. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from the leaves of the plant.
Detailed explanation-4: -Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.
Detailed explanation-5: -The process by which plants remove excess water through stomata present on the surface of leaves is called ‘transpiration’. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from leaves of the plant.
