observing cells in a leaf Aim
Answers
Answer:
Stomata are tiny openings or pores which are commonly noticed being distributed on the epidermis of the leaves and also in young stems. Typically, stomata are found on the lower surface of a dicot leaf and in a monocot leaf, on both of its surfaces. Stomata carry out the function of regulating gas exchange and water vapour between the leaves of the plant and the atmosphere.

Principle/Theory
Plants are the primary producers. They carry out physiological processes such as photosynthesis and respiration which requires a gas exchange between the tissues of plants and the atmosphere. This process is carried out through tiny openings located in leaves, known as stomata.
