Solution

Definition: Transpiration is the process by which the plants lose water in the form of vapor through stomata.

  1. Water is absorbed through the negative pressure which is generated by the loss of water through the process of transpiration.
  2. The absorption of water by the roots is increased with an increase in transpiration.
  3. The water lost through the leaves is replaced by the water uptake by the roots.
