Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: The loss of water in the form of water vapor from the leaves of the plants occurs during transpiration. Transpiration occurs when stomatal pores are open during photosynthesis. Transpiration helps in the generation of transpiration pull which helps in the transport of water through xylem vessels.
Detailed explanation-2: -Transpiration is the evaporation of water from the spongy mesophyll cells followed by the diffusion of water through the air spaces and out of the stomata .
Detailed explanation-3: -transpiration, in botany, a plant’s loss of water, mainly through the stomata of leaves. Stomatal openings are necessary to admit carbon dioxide to the leaf interior and to allow oxygen to escape during photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-4: -It occurs mainly through the stomata in the leaves. Besides the loss of water vapour in transpiration, exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the leaf also occurs through pores called stomata.
