In leaves transpiration takes place through ________.

The correct answer is Stomata.

Key Points

• Stomata
  • In leaves transpiration takes place through stomata.
  • The little apertures known as stomata are found on the epidermis of leaves.
  • Stomata are visible under a light microscope.
  • Stomata can be found on the stems and other portions of various plants.
  • In gaseous exchange and photosynthesis, stomata are crucial. Via opening and closing, they regulate the rate of transpiration.

Additional Information

• Transpiration
  • Water is lost from the aerial regions of plants in the form of water vapour through a biological process called transpiration.
  • Like all other living things, plants need an excretory system to remove extra water from their bodies.
  • Transpiration is the term for this process of removing extra water from the body of the plant. Typically, it is the evaporation of water from the leaf surface.
  • The plants only use a small portion of the water they absorb for growth and development.
