Solution

The correct option is B False
The given statement is false.
Hydathodes exude water and dissolved salts, while stomata releases water vapour. The exudation is due to root pressure. Transpiration creates a pull for roots to absorb water. Hence, hydathodes and stomata are dissimilar with respect to plant physiology.
