Solution

The correct option is C

stomata


Water evaporates through tiny openings present in the leaves known as stomata. Each stoma is a pore on the surface of the leaf. It is guarded by two guard cells which control the opening and closing of stomata.

The stalk that joins a leaf to a stem is called petiole. A tendril is a specialized stem, leaves or petiole with a threadlike shape that is used by climbing plants for support, attachment, generally by twining around suitable hosts.
