i believe the function is to protect the stoma
The guard cells of a stoma perform this function.
A stoma or ostomy is a pink and moist hole in the stomach made under surgical procedure. Stoma has three types which are: the colostomy, ileostomy and the urostomy
A patient who has undergone a colostomy or ileostomy procedure typically needs a stoma bag for the rest of their life, as the stoma is a permanent opening in the abdomen for waste elimination. It is important for the patient to work closely with their healthcare provider to ensure proper care and management of the stoma and stoma bag.
If you mean a surgically created opening to the urinary bladder or to the intestines, or for a tracheostomy, they are open. e.g. A stoma IS always open. A temporary stoma may be made and later closed, but by definition, stoma is an "opening".1. Picture of trach stoma. - This shows a trach stoma cap which protects the stoma.2. Picture of a loop ileostomy. -- Whether the stoma opens to bowel or bladder, the outside of the stoma appears basically the same. If for bladder, a small flexible tube is kept put through the stoma; a see-through "bag" attached to the skin (or upper thigh) collects the urine which the person must dump. The tubing is replaced periodically. If for bowel, a see through pouch is affixed onto the skin, over the stoma, to collect feces. The feces must be 'dumped' also.On any stoma, the area must be cleansed or the tender tissue can break down, bleed, become infected, etc.
Gaseous exchange is the primary function of a stoma.
A stoma is used to control gas exchange -- oxygen and carbon dioxide.
A stoma is used to control gas exchange -- oxygen and carbon dioxide.
the function of guard cells are that they control the opening and closing of the stoma
The stoma opens and closes to allow gas exchange. The Guard cells are located around the stoma and regulate the opening and closing of the stoma.
The stoma performs that function.

control the size of the openings called stoma the stoma allow gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen to move into and out of the leaf
A stoma on a leaf allows for the exchange of gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, during photosynthesis and respiration. It also helps regulate water loss through transpiration.
A stoma in the human body serves as an artificial opening created during surgery to allow waste to exit the body when normal routes are blocked or damaged.
Stoma
A stoma is a pore found in a leaf's epidermis. This pore is used primarily for gas exchanges (carbon dioxide/oxygen), but it also has another unavoidable function. That function is decreasing the water in the leaf. The water evaporates and leaves the leaf through the stoma. In a dessert, this would be particularly harmful to the plant, as the heat would evaporate more and more of the water, which can then escape through the stomata, dehydrating the plant.
