What is the function of a stomata?
A
cellular respiration
B
sugar transportation
C
photosynthesis
D
gas exchange
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Its prime function is to exchange the gases by closing and opening the pores in the leaves. It assists in eradicating excess water from the leaves. It removes oxygen and takes in carbon dioxide at the time of photosynthesis. It assists in monitoring the movement of water via transpiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stomata, the small pores on the surfaces of leaves and stalks, regulate the flow of gases in and out of leaves and thus plants as a whole. They adapt to local and global changes on all timescales from minutes to millennia.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stomata open to take in carbon dioxide, and during that process, oxygen gas is released out as waste.

Detailed explanation-4: -They are pores surrounded by specialized parenchymatic cells, called guard cells. Stomata have two main functions, namely they allow for gas exchange acting as an entryway for carbon dioxide (CO2) and releasing the Oxygen (O2) that we breath. The other main function is regulating water movement through transpiration.
