HELLO

In botany, a stoma (also stomate; plural stomata) is a tiny opening or pore, found mostly on the under-surface (epidermis) of a plant leaf, and used for gas exchange.

Hey here is your answer...

The two main functions of stomata are to allow for the uptake of carbon dioxide and to limit the loss of water due to evaporation. In many plants, stomata remain open during the day and closed at night. Stomata are open during the day because this is when photosynthesis typically occurs. In photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce glucose, water, and oxygen. Glucose is used as a food source, while oxygen and water vapor escape through open stomata into the surrounding environment. Carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis is obtained through open plant stomata. At night, when sunlight is no longer available and photosynthesis is not occurring, stomata close. This closure prevents water from escaping through open pores.

Hope this helps...
