Transpiration is the movement of water through a plant and loss or evaporation of that water from leaves, stems and flowers. In a human, the loss of water through the skin as perspiration and evaporation is called transepidermal diffusion. In both cases the point of evaporation is to cool the plant or human.

Do humans have stomata?

No, humans do not have stomata. Stomata are microscopic pores found on the surface of plant leaves and stems that are used for gas exchange and transpiration. Humans have lungs for gas exchange and do not require stomata for this purpose.

What are the types of transpiration in plants explain briefly with examples?

The types of transpiration in plants include cuticular transpiration, stomatal transpiration, and lenticular transpiration. Cuticular transpiration occurs through the waxy cuticle on leaves, stems, and fruits. Stomatal transpiration happens through specialized pores called stomata on the leaf surface. Lenticular transpiration occurs through lenticels, which are small openings on woody stems and roots.

The evaporation of water from plants is called what?

Transpiration. During the day, water is constantly evaporating from the plant, mainly through leaf stomata. The large amount of water lost from the plant is a result of the plant's need to obtain carbon dioxide from the air.
