Stomata are small pores present in the epidermis of leaves. They regulate the process of transpiration and gaseous exchange. The stomatal pore is enclosed between two bean-shaped guard cells. The inner walls of guard cells are thick, while the outer walls are thin. The guard cells are surrounded by subsidiary cells. These are the specialised epidermal cells present around the guard cells. The pores, the guard cells, and the subsidiary cells together constitute the stomatal apparatus.

A stomatal opening surrounded with two guard cells and several subsidiary cells is stomatal apparatus.
The process of opening and closing of stomata is controlled buy the expansion and contraction of the guard cells. The expansion / contraction of the guard cells is to flow of water from the subsidiary cells.
The exchange of gases in plants is not as fast as in animals.
