Answer

Transpiration works through a sequence of steps involving water uptake, movement, and release. It begins with the absorption of water from the soil by plant roots, which then travels through the plant’s vascular system (xylem). As water reaches the leaves, it moves into the stomata, small pores on the leaf surface. Once in the stomata, water evaporates into the atmosphere. This loss of water vapor creates a negative pressure within the plant, which helps pull more water from the roots through the plant. Transpiration is influenced by factors such as temperature, humidity, and wind, which affect the rate of evaporation.
