Detailed explanation-1: -Stomata are the tiny openings in the leaves. Gases can only diffuse in and out of a leaf through the stomata. They have the ability to open and close in response to the plant’s needs. The stomata allow the plant to take in carbon dioxide while also releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-2: -stomate, also called stoma, plural stomata or stomas, any of the microscopic openings or pores in the epidermis of leaves and young stems. Stomata are generally more numerous on the underside of leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stomata are pores on the leaf surface, which are formed by a pair of curved, tubular guard cells; an increase in turgor pressure deforms the guard cells, resulting in the opening of the stomata.

Detailed explanation-4: -Botanists call the upper side the adaxial surface (or adaxis) and the lower side the abaxial surface (or abaxis). The epidermis helps in the regulation of gas exchange.

Detailed explanation-5: -Stomata regulate gas exchange between the plant and environment and control of water loss by changing the size of the stomatal pore.
