Transpiration is a crucial biological process in which water is absorbed by plant roots from the soil, transported through the plant’s vascular system, and released into the atmosphere as water vapor. This process occurs primarily through small pores called stomata on the surface of leaves, but it can also occur through other plant parts such as stems. Transpiration helps in maintaining the plant’s water balance and contributes to nutrient uptake and cooling.
