Transpiration :

• The meaning of transpiration is "trans - across; "spirare" - to breathe.

• 98-99% of water is absorbed by a plant with the help of transpiration process.

• The process of transpiration takes place in stomata.

Types of transpiration :

• Cuticular transpiration
• Stomatal transpiration

Cuticular transpiration : Cuticular transpiration is the process in which loss of water occurs through cuticular covering of the leaves and other aerial parts.

Stomatal transpiration : Stomatal transpiration is the process in which loss of water occurs through tiny pores present over leaves and other soft aerial parts, called stomata.

Advantage of transpiration :

• The process of transpiration helps in transportation of water and minerals.

• Transpiration increases the concentration of minerals present in rising water.

• It removes excess water.

• It also plays a role in regulation of temperature.
