Answer:
Transpiration is the loss of water from a plant in the form of water vapor. Water is absorbed by roots from the soil and transported as a liquid to the leaves via xylem. In the leaves, small pores allow water to escape as a vapor.

- Transpiration is the transport of water through a plant and the evaporation of water from aerial parts such as leaves, stems, and flowers.
- Water is needed for plants, although only a small amount of the water taken by the roots is used for growth and metabolism.
- Transpiration and guttation lose the remaining 97–99.5 percent.
- Most plants have small holes on the undersides of their leaves called stomata (singular "stoma").
- The stomatal complex is made up of guard cells and their stomatal accessory cells, which surround the stomata and open and seal the hole.
- Transpiration happens through the stomatal openings and is a required "cost" connected with the opening of the stomata to enable carbon dioxide gas to diffuse from the air for photosynthesis.
- As a result of transpiration, plants cool and cell osmotic pressure changes.
