A stoma is used to control gas exchange -- oxygen and carbon dioxide.
A stoma on a leaf allows for the exchange of gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, during photosynthesis and respiration. It also helps regulate water loss through transpiration.
The stoma opens and closes to allow gas exchange. The Guard cells are located around the stoma and regulate the opening and closing of the stoma.

A stoma is a pore found in a leaf's epidermis. This pore is used primarily for gas exchanges (carbon dioxide/oxygen), but it also has another unavoidable function. That function is decreasing the water in the leaf. The water evaporates and leaves the leaf through the stoma. In a dessert, this would be particularly harmful to the plant, as the heat would evaporate more and more of the water, which can then escape through the stomata, dehydrating the plant.
The stoma (stomata)
The stoma, or pores of a plant control all gas exchange. The stoma is found in the epidermis of the leaf.
to preserve water
Stoma of the leaf.
The guard cells of a stoma perform this function.
The guard cells of a stoma perform this function.
It's called a stoma (plural stomata) and its function is to allow carbon dioxide to enter the leaf for photosynthesis. The guard cells sre responsible for regulating the size of the stoma.
The openings in the epidermis of a leaf that let CO2 into the leaves are called stomata. Stomata are small pores primarily located on the underside of the leaf that allow for gas exchange, including the intake of CO2 for photosynthesis and the release of oxygen.
