, Transpiration VS Evaporation in Plants
Transpiration
Transpiration is the process by which water is absorbed by plant roots, transported through the plant, and
then released as water vapor from small openings on leaves called stomata. This process serves
multiple purposes:
● Cooling the plant: Transpiration helps regulate plant temperature, especially on hot days.
● Nutrient transport: The flow of water carries essential minerals and nutrients from the soil to
different parts of the plant.
● Water regulation: Plants can open and close stomata to control water loss based on
environmental conditions.
Evaporation
Evaporation is the direct transformation of water from a liquid to a gas (water vapor) from surfaces like
soil, water bodies, or plant leaves. In the context of plants, evaporation happens mainly from the surface
of leaves, but it doesn’t involve internal plant structures as transpiration does.
