Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Stomata are responsible for allowing gas exchange between the inside of the leaf and the atmosphere. Stoma is the singular and stomata is the plural form. When viewed with a microscope, they often look like coffee beans. There are more than 32 stomata in the image of the Western Sword Fern leaf, to the right.
Detailed explanation-2: -Put a small drop of water on a microscope slide. Hold the leaf with the surface you want to examine uppermost. Tear the leaf at an angle so as to reveal part of the epidermis. Place the leaf on the microscope slide and examine.
