CO2 is not really released into the air by plants. They do release a lot of oxygen, though! Plants produce carbon dioxide from a process called respiration. Plants can release either gases accidentally from its cells and leaves- the stomata (pores) is what releases these gases.

Carbon is also released when the plant decomposes or is burnt.
