Where does transpiration occur?

Transpiration occurs primarily through the stomata, which are small pores located on the surface of leaves. However, it can also occur through other parts of the plant such as stems and flowers, where similar openings called lenticels are present. The majority of transpiration takes place in the leaves because they have a large surface area and are equipped with numerous stomata to facilitate gas exchange and water vapor release. The overall process is essential for maintaining the plant’s water balance and supporting nutrient transport.
