Perspiration

Detailed explanation-1: -It is the evaporation of water from the stomata of the plants. Most of the water from the plants is transpired this way. The water near the surface of the leaves changes into vapour and evaporates when the stomata are open.
Detailed explanation-2: -Transpiration is a process that involves loss of water vapour through the stomata of plants.
Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water through small pores called stomata present on the underside of the leaves. The main functions of transpiration in plants are cooling and the absorption and conduction of water from roots to other parts of the plant.
Detailed explanation-4: -Stomata consist of microscopic pores, each flanked by a pair of guard cells. Guard cells can increase or decrease the size of the pore via changes in their turgor status, hence regulating both CO2 entry into the leaf and transpiration, or the loss of water from the leaf.
