See stomata are the openings on the leaves which function for the transpiration and exchange of material in and out of the leaf.<br />Therefore if the stomata were present in the upper part of the leaf then the stomata would have been blocked due to the dust particles. <br />And so due to the direct rays of the sun the transpiration would have been more.<br />Therefore more stomata are found in the lower part of the leaf.
