Stomata is the plural form of the word stoma. In regards to plants, stomata are small pores in plant leaves that have cells surrounding them that control the opening and closing of the pore to release gases (oxygen). In anatomy and zoology the word stoma refers to an opening in the body such as the mouth or ears. In medicine, a stoma is an artificial hole created by surgery, as often seen in the throats of long-time smokers who lose their voice-box.
