AI overview
Transpiration is the process by which plants release water vapor through tiny pores in their leaves called stomata, contributing to the movement of water through the plant and into the atmosphere. This process is significant because it plays a major role in the water cycle and can influence weather patterns, as seen in how large forests like the Amazon generate clouds through evapotranspiration.
