Answer 1

Answer:

Transpiration

Explanation:

Water is absorbed from the soil by the root of plants. Majority of the absorbed water is lost in form of vapor through the stomata of the leaf of plants. This process is called TRANSPIRATION in plants. Transpiration is simply the process whereby water escapes from plants into the atmosphere.

The water leaves in form of a gas (vapor) when the plant opens the stomata on its leaves to enable carbondioxide (CO2) needed for photosynthesis come in and oxygen go out as a waste product of photosynthesis. Since, water in a liquid form leaves in a gaseous form, transpiration is therefore the term used for the evaporation of water in plants.
