What is the process of transpiration?

Transpiration is the process by which plants release water vapor into the atmosphere. This process involves the loss of water through small openings in the leaves, called stomata, as a result of evaporation. The water is absorbed by the roots and transported through the plant in a system of tubes known as xylem. Once the water reaches the leaves, it is released through the stomata as water vapor. This process not only helps regulate the water balance within the plant, but also plays a crucial role in the water cycle and the regulation of temperature and humidity in the atmosphere.
