Answer:
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.

Water is transferred from a plant's roots to microscopic pores on the underside of its leaves, where it evaporates into the atmosphere as water vapour.
- The evaporation of water from a plant's leaves is known as transpiration.
- Guttation, or the loss of liquid water from leaves or stems, is another kind of transpiration.
- Water vapour cannot be seen due to the tiny size of water particles, hence transpiration, like sweating, is an unseen activity.
- In a single growing season, a plant, on the other hand, can produce several times its own weight.
- According to research, transpiration contributes around 10% of the moisture in our atmosphere.
