Best Answer

Guard cell is an epidermal cell that is also a multisensor hydraulic valve. The guard cells surround the stomatal pore which controls the opening and closing of the stomatal. Due to tugor changes,the guard cells can be triggered by light, temperature, carbon dioxide concentration and hydration of the leaf.

Ex: The guard cells are triggered by a high temperature and closes the stomatal pore to conserve water.

in places with humidity, the wetness in the air keeps it wet. In dry places like deserts, there are underground water springs from the ocean. The plant's roots get its water from there and send it up to the leafs.
