What is transpiration?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Loss of water vapour from plants
Transpiration is the loss of water vapour from the aerial parts of a plant, mainly through tiny pores called stomata in the leaves. Water absorbed by roots eventually reaches the leaves, where some of it evaporates and diffuses out. Therefore, option A is correct. The other options describe neither water loss nor a recognised plant life process.
