Well, only the green parts of a plant can.
Stomata.
Trees in the plains often have broad leaves to maximize photosynthesis, allowing them to capture more sunlight in open environments. The larger surface area helps facilitate gas exchange, which is crucial for growth. Additionally, broad leaves can aid in water absorption and evaporation, helping the trees adapt to varying moisture conditions in the plains.
The openings in leaves that regulate gas exchange are called stomata. Stomata are tiny pores that allow for the exchange of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide with the surrounding environment. They play a crucial role in photosynthesis and transpiration in plants.
Broadleaf trees, such as oak, maple, and beech, are generally more effective at absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere compared to coniferous trees. This is because broadleaf trees have larger, thinner leaves that allow for more efficient gas exchange.
The stoma (aka stomate) are the "pores" in the leaves and stems of plants used to control gas exchange.
The spongy layer in plant leaves helps with gas exchange, allowing for the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen during photosynthesis.
Leaves have small openings called stomata on the underside of the blade. Stomata function in gas exchange.

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.
