what is the importance of transpiration to plants
Answers
It provides the water needed for food manufactured by photosynthesis in the leaves.
Transpiration involves the evaporation of water. The cells in the leaves are exposed to direct sunlight. Energy from the sunlight can be transferred from the plant cells to the water causing it to evaporate. This causes the plant cells to cool down and prevents direct sunlight from damaging the delicate cells.
The water transported upwards from the roots to the leaves also contains dissolved mineral salts which are used to produce a variety of substances such as proteins in the plant.

The water, warmed by the sun, turns into vapor (evaporates), and passes out through thousands of tiny pores (stomata) mostly on the underside of the leaf surface. This is transpiration. It has two main functions: cooling the plant and pumping water and minerals to the leaves for photosynthesis.
