Plants loose more water than they absorb from the soil due to a process called transpiration. is the evaporation of water into the atmosphere from the leaves and stems of plants. Plants absorb water through their roots and this water can originate from deep in the soil. (For example, corn plants have roots that are 2.5 meters deep, while some desert plants have roots that extend 20 meters into the ground). Plants pump the water up from the soil to deliver nutrients to their leaves. This pumping is driven by the evaporation of water through small pores called stomates, which are found on the undersides of leaves. Transpiration accounts for approximately 10% of all evaporating water.
