Transpiration is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. So basically transpiration is evaporation of water from plant leaves. Transpiration also includes a process called guttation, which is the loss of water in liquid form.

What other step of the water cycle is most similar to transpiration?

Evaporation from bodies of water is the step of the water cycle most similar to transpiration. Both processes involve water changing from a liquid state to a vapor and entering the atmosphere. However, while transpiration involves water loss from plants, evaporation involves water loss from bodies of water such as oceans, lakes, and rivers.
