There are small openings or pores on the lower surface of the leaves called stomata these openings are surrounded by guard cells. The two functions of stomata are:

(i) Transpiration is possible through stomata, i.e., excess water loss from the plant.

(ii) Absorption of water from the roots, when there is a loss of water from the stomata creates an upward pull. They are also responsible for the gaseous exchange of the plant.

Most of the transpiration takes place through stomata  .  Stomata are two kidney shaped guard cells  .  In stomatal transpiration , water absorbed by the roots rises through the stem and reaches the tissues of the leaves and releases the water  .  It also takes carbon dioxide and gives oxygen during the photosynthesis  .
