The process of water movement through a plant leading to its evaporation (primarily from stomata on leaves but also from stems and flowers) is known as:
|
|
transpiration
|
|
|
respiration
|
|
|
photosynthesis
|
|
|
circulation

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Evapotranspiration also includes transpiration, which is the water movement from the soil to the atmosphere via plants. Transpiration occurs when plants take up liquid water from the soil and release water vapor into the air from their leaves.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mechanism Driving Water Movement in Plants The bulk of water absorbed and transported through plants is moved by negative pressure generated by the evaporation of water from the leaves (i.e., transpiration)-this process is commonly referred to as the Cohesion-Tension (C-T) mechanism.
