Plants have stomata. These are small holes which are used for gas exchange during photosynthesis. However, this stomata also cause water to diffuse and evaporate out of the plant, when photosynthesis is occurring, meaning water is lost. This water vapour which is lost is given out to the surrounding air, increasing the humidity (which is just water vapour). This loss of water causes more water to be drawn up from the roots through the xylem tube networks, giving a constant stream of water. This is called Transpiration.
