advantage

1)Removal of Excess Water:

It has been held that plants absorb far more amount of water than is actually required by them. Transpiration, therefore, removes the excess of waterCooling Effect:

2)Radiant heat falling on the plants increases their temperature which may be dangerous to the plants. Transpiration, by evaporating water, lowers down their temperature by 10°—15°C.

Disadvantages of Transpiration

1. Wilting:

Wilting or loss of turgidity is quite common during noon due to transpiration being higher than the rate of water absorption. Wilting reduces photosynthesis and other metabolic activities.

2. Reduced Growth:

Transpiration reduces availability of water inside the plant. Water deficit decreases growth and hence the plant gives a stunted appearance.

Answer 2

advantages

Plants can absorb more than 98%of water

Disadvantages

The energy used by plants to consume this much amount of water is wasted
