Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.

Transpiration :
Transpiration is the biological process by which water is lost in the form of water vapour from the aerial parts of the plants.
Significance :
☆Transpiration helps in the conduction of water and minerals to different parts of the plants.
☆Due to the continuous elimination of water from the plant body, there is a balance of water maintained within the plant.
☆It maintains osmosis and keeps the cells rigid.
