Transpiration refers to loss of moisture from plants. This occurs from three different locations in plants namely cuticle, stomata and lenticle.

Maximum loss of water occurs from stomata which is up to 90%. Cuticle is present on plants and is referred to as waxy covering. Lenticular transpiration occurs from wood barks.
