Transpiration Transpiration is the process of the absorption of water by plants, usually
through the roots, the movement of water through plants, and the loss
of the water to the atmosphere through small openings on the underside
of leaves called stomata. Transpiration is one of the processes that scientists
rely on when phytoremediation is used
to clean up contaminated ground water. |
