✅Explanation: Transpiration is the process by which plants lose water to the atmosphere through their leaves. It's estimated that approximately 90% of the water absorbed by a plant's roots is lost through transpiration. This process is essential for cooling the plant, transporting nutrients, and creating a humid microclimate around the plant.

🔑Key Points:
-Transpiration: Loss of water in the form of vapours, from the aerial parts (organs) of living plants, is known as Transpiration.
-Only a few percent (1-2%) of the absorbed water is used by the plants, while the rest (98-99%) of water is lost in the atmosphere.
-The evaporation of water from leaves generates a suction pull (the same that you produce when you suck water through a straw) which can pull water to great heights in the tall trees. Transpiration also cools the plant.
-Transpiration is of 3 types-
-Stomatal transpiration: Occurs through stomata, about 80-90% of transpiration occurs by stomata.
-Cuticular transpiration: loss of water through the cuticle of herbaceous stems and leaves. The cuticle is the waxy layer present on the epidermis. About 9% of transpiration occurs through it.
-Lenticular transpiration: Occurs through lenticels(minute pores on stem and epidermis of woody plants). The least amount of about 0.1 to 1% transpiration occurs through it.
