Solution

Plants use a variety of techniques to remove waste materials. Oxygen, a by-product of photosynthesis is removed through stomata. The excess water absorbed from roots is also lost through stomata via transpiration. Cell vacuoles, gum, resin etc. are stored in old xylem tissues. Waste products may be stored in leaves that fall. Plant roots also sometimes excrete wastes materials.

Hope this helps,




When it's time for the plant to excrete waste, it has 2 methods of doing so. The first and most common method is through the roots. A plant pushed the excrement through its roots into the ground. Plant excrement is also known as soil. Not to be confused with dirt, they may look the same, but they're not. That's also where the term “soiled yourself comes from. The other way is the plant converts the waste into a common gas that we all know and love. Not to mention need, Oxygen.
