Stomata are found in leaves and they are tiny pores on the surface that permit exchange of gases between the inside and the outside of the leaf. A stoma is formed by "guard cells" which are two specialized epidermal cells. The guard cells change their form to open and close the pore on a timescale of minutes. In plants stomata range between 30 - 60 micrometers long and occur at densities ranging from 50 to 200 per square mm. The stomata opens in order to allow CO2 to enter the leaf for the photosynthesis process. When they open, stomata also allows water vapors to get out, this means that the opening must be precise, in order to allow CO2 to enter but not to let too much water to be lost.
