Solution

The correct option is B False
Transpiration is the process of loss of excess water in the form of vapour from the plant body, mostly leaves. Stephen Hales described leaves as the organs of transpiration. He also mentioned that plants exchange gases with their surrounding air. On the other hand, Von Helmont from his experiment concluded that plant growth depends only on the water fed to them.
