Answer:
Stomata
Stomata are cell structures in the epidermis of tree leaves and needles that are involved in the exchange of carbon dioxide and water between plants and the atmosphere.
Functions of stomata are
- They allow the exchange of gases (CO2 and O2) with the atmosphere.
- Evaporation of water from the leaf surface occurs through the stomata. Thus, the stomata help in the process of transpiration.
- Based on the climatic conditions, it closes or opens its pores to maintain the moisture balance.
- Allows the intake of carbon dioxide and to give out oxygen during the process of photosynthesis.
- Stomata remains open during the day and closed at night. This closure at night prevents water from escaping through open pores.
