The tiny pores called stomata on leaves carry out which main water-cycle process?

Correct answer: वाष्पोत्सर्जन (Transpiration)

Correct answer: B, transpiration. Stomata are microscopic pores, usually present mainly on leaves, that regulate gas exchange. Carbon dioxide enters for photosynthesis, while oxygen and water vapour can leave. When water evaporates from moist internal leaf surfaces and diffuses out through open stomata, the process is called transpiration. It adds water vapour to the atmosphere and links plant water loss with the water cycle. A, infiltration, is the entry of water into soil. C, condensation, is the change of vapour into liquid droplets, often during cloud formation. D, sublimation, is the direct change between ice and vapour without passing through the liquid state. Stomata can open and close, so transpiration is regulated rather than always constant. Memory cue: “stomata are leaf doors; water vapour exits through them.”
