Photosynthesis
The tiny holes in leaves through which carbon dioxide enters are called stomata. Stomata are small pores located on the surface of leaves that open and close to allow for gas exchange, including the intake of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
Plants breath through stomates. they are microscopic openings covering the leaves that open and close bringing in CO2 and out oxygen. This gives us 29 percent of our oxygen while the other percentage (71) is from phytoplankton
The tiny openings in the leaves of plants are called stomata. Stomata play a crucial role in gas exchange, allowing for the entry of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and the release of oxygen and water vapor. They can open and close to regulate the exchange of gases and water vapor.
Carbon dioxide enters plants through small openings on the surfaces of leaves called stomata. Stomata open to allow CO2 to enter and close to prevent water loss. Once inside the plant, CO2 is used in photosynthesis to produce sugars and oxygen.
Stomata are pores in the leaf's epidermis, or outer surface. They are used to regulate the outflow of water vapour and oxygen from the plant leaves as well as the inflow of carbon dioxide into the leaves. Stomata are normally found on the underside of the leaves (protected from direct sun and exposure to wind).
Daylight
Increase in temperature causes stomata to open. A hydathode is a type of secretary tissue in leaves, usually of Angiosperms , that secretes water through pores in the epidermis or margin of leaves, typically at the tip of a marginal tooth or serration. They probably evolved from modified stomata.

Transpiration
They shut because with the stomata open it is too drafty and the plant can't get to sleep.

The leaves would dry out
At night, the leaves of C3 plants close their stomata and wait until the sunlight. For CAM plants, this is when the plants open their stomata and allow the carbon dioxide to come in.

When light hits the stomata it activates photosynthetic K+ pumps. These cells pump potassium ions into the guards cell around the stomata. Water is attracted to the potassium ions and thus enters the guards cells. This causes the guard cells to swell, but the rigidity of the one side causes that side to bow inwards, this creates an opening for gases to exchange in the leaf. This opening is the stomata. When water is not present, the stomata will not open.
