The loss of water through the stomata of the leaves is called transpiration.
- Transpiration is the process where water in the form of water vapor is evaporated from the stomata of the leaves and the stem of plants.
- The surface of the leaves and stems contains tiny pores which are called stomata. They serve as an entry and exit gate for gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen.
- During this gaseous exchange, water is also lost as a small compensation for when the stomata open to allow the diffusion of gases for photosynthesis.
- Transpiration is an important process as it helps in the conduction of water and minerals, maintains osmosis, and helps to keep the cells rigid.
