What is the process of transpiration?

The process of transpiration involves several steps: first, water is absorbed from the soil by plant roots, which then moves up through the plant’s vascular system, primarily through the xylem vessels. As water reaches the leaves, it travels to the stomata, tiny openings on the leaf surface. Through these stomata, water vapor evaporates into the atmosphere. This evaporation creates a negative pressure within the plant, which helps pull more water from the roots through the plant. The overall process of transpiration is influenced by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and wind.
